FAQs

A cheval mirror is a freestanding, full-length looking glass suspended within a frame that allows it to tilt. Originating in France during the late 18th century, the term cheval derives from the French word for horse, referencing the four-legged frame structure.

Traditional cheval mirrors were constructed using a variety of materials depending on the period, ranging from solid timbers such as mahogany, oak, and walnut to forged metals like iron and brass, often featuring hand-painted or gilt finishes.

Authentic period pieces can be identified by examining the construction joints, the type of fixings, and the characteristics of the glass. Older mirrors often exhibit slight imperfections, foxing, or hand-beveled edges alongside period-accurate joinery techniques.

This piece can be positioned in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway to reflect light and create a sense of depth. Pairing it with neutral tones or contrasting textures helps integrate the classical design into modern spaces.

Maintenance involves dusting frames with a soft, dry cloth and cleaning glass with a mild, ammonia-free solution applied to a cloth rather than directly to the surface. Keeping the mirror away from direct sunlight and damp environments prevents damage to the backing and frame.
