This Victorian shaving stand dates from 1860 and takes the form of an adjustable vanity mirror resting on a circular top tier with a small drawer. The construction comprises painted wood, glass and brass, finished in a clean white colourway throughout. Structural details include a circular pivoting mirror frame, a turned reeded pedestal column, and three shaped cabriole legs terminating in scrolled tripod feet. Overall dimensions measure 163 cm high by 46 cm wide and 46 cm deep, providing a compact footprint well suited to an empty corner or dressing room. The piece functions effectively as a standalone vanity mirror or decorative accent within a traditional bedroom space.

FAQs

Originating in the nineteenth century, shaving stands were introduced as freestanding grooming stations for gentlemen. They allowed the user to adjust the mirror angle and height while keeping essential grooming tools placed on the central surface or tier.

These stands were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring brass adjustment mechanisms, silvered glass mirrors, and carved turned columns supported by tripod feet.

Authentic period examples feature period-correct joinery, aged brass adjustment knobs or thumbscrews beneath the mirror, original silvering or foxing on the glass, and hand-carved details on the column and feet.

Place the piece in a dressing room, bedroom corner, or modern bathroom suite to create a focal point. It functions as both a decorative vertical accent and a compact vanity station.

Dust painted wood surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Clean the mirror glass using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the frame to protect the painted finish.
