Georgian 18th Century Dressing Table Mirror

18th century
Description

An Extremely Attractive And Very Good Quality 18th Century, George III Period, Mahogany Dressing Table Mirror, With Shield Shaped Swing Plate, Over Well Figured And Rare Double Concave, Two Drawer Base With Crossbanded And Strung Decoration, Raised On Original Ogee Feet.

Often referred to as “toilet mirrors”, dressing table mirrors were made from the beginning of the 18th Century onwards.

Designed to sit atop a dressing table, or chest of drawers, in the bedroom or dressing room they are found in a huge variety of sizes, woods, shapes, sizes and qualities.

This is a nice example, George III and constructed from attractive well figured mahogany timbers which retain a good colour and surface. It is also an extremely unusual shape with the double concave design adding great charm and elegance to the overall look of the piece.

Although originally designed to sit on top of a dressing table it is of course most versatile and would suit a whole variety of locations around the home.

The overall condition is good with just the expected old marks, scuffs, scrapes and historic scratches which have all blended into the surface and patina now. The mirror plate is a replacement but has been in place for a significant number of years. There is also one historic repair to a foot which can be seen quite clearly in the images supplied.

As with all items we offer for sale this Georgian Mahogany Butlers Tray has been inspected and attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, specialist trained, antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale to ensure that it is in excellent condition and ready for immediate placement within the home.

Circa 1780.

Height 24in.

Width 18in.

Depth 8in.

Declaration

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Georgian toilet mirrors, traditionally designed for tabletop dressing, typically feature mahogany construction with shield or oval-shaped swinging frames supported by upright posts, set upon a plinth base containing small drawers.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense mahogany, often incorporating flame mahogany veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass friction handles, and silvered glass plates.

Authentic period examples display signs of age such as hand-sawn timber marks on the back panels, natural wood shrinkage lines, early hand-cut dovetails on the drawers, and age-appropriate oxidisation on the brass fixings.

Position the mirror atop a minimalist chest of drawers or a contemporary console table to create a balanced visual contrast between historic timber craftsmanship and clean modern lines.

Dust the piece regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain once or twice a year, while avoiding chemical glass cleaners near the wooden frame.
