FAQs

A cheval mirror, also known as a cheval glass, is a full-length dressing mirror supported within a dual-upright frame that allows the glass to tilt. Popularised in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the term derives from the French word for horse, referencing the four-legged support structure.

Period cheval mirrors were predominantly crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. The construction typically features hand-cut joinery, swivelling brass pivots, and downswept legs fitted with brass castors and turned finials.

Authentic period pieces display original brass hardware, hand-cut joinery, and natural foxing on the silvered mirror glass. Additionally, look for authentic hand-saw marks on the wooden back panels and original castors on the splayed base.

Position a mahogany cheval mirror in a bedroom corner, dressing room, or hallway to maximise natural light and create visual depth. Pairing rich mahogany tones with soft contemporary textiles creates a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

Clean the wooden frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax periodically to nourish the mahogany finish. Avoid applying liquid glass cleaners directly to the mirror plate to prevent moisture from reaching the delicate silvering or wooden frame rebate.
