FAQs

Cheval mirrors originated in France during the late 18th century, taking their name from the French word for horse due to the four-legged frame design. By the Edwardian era, these freestanding full-length mirrors became staple bedroom furnishings, often featuring lighter timbers and revival styles compared to their heavy Victorian predecessors.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, utilising traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon frames. The mirror plate is usually bevelled-edge glass secured within a pivoting wooden frame, supported by upright sturdier posts and mounted on castors for mobility.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the timber grain, oxidisation on the mirror backing, and hand-cut screws or traditional fixings. Original Edwardian glass often exhibits minor imperfections and silvering deterioration consistent with age, while the frame construction should display period-appropriate joinery.

A freestanding mirror adds verticality and reflects natural light, making it effective in bedrooms, dressing rooms, or hallways. Pairing antique wood tones with minimalist decor or neutral walls creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern simplicity.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying high-quality beeswax periodically to nourish the wood. Avoid placing the mirror in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity to protect both the wooden frame and the silvered glass backing.
