FAQs

Developed in the late 18th century and refined during the Regency period, the cheval mirror is a full-length dressing glass suspended between dual upright supports. Named after the French word for horse (cheval) due to its four-legged base, it allowed the user to adjust the angle of the mirror plate for dressing.

Regency cheval mirrors were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood. The frames feature mercury-silvered glass plates, brass castor feet, and hand-turned tension knobs or brass adjusters to secure the mirror in position.

Authentic Regency examples exhibit period details such as reeded downswept legs, turned stretchers, and brass cap castors. Look for signs of age in the mirror glass, such as grey specks from oxidisation, along with hand-cut joinery and original hand-turned wooden hardware.

Position a cheval mirror in the corner of a master bedroom, dressing room, or spacious hallway. The tall vertical proportion adds architectural height to a room while reflecting natural light and enhancing the sense of space.

Maintain the timber frame by regularly dusting with a soft cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly along the grain. Clean the mirror plate using a dry lint-free cloth or minimal glass cleaner, avoiding excessive moisture near the wooden frame and edge joinery.
