FAQs

A Georgian bow-front dressing mirror, historically referred to as a toilet glass, is a portable desktop mirror featuring a curved base with small drawers, produced primarily during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Britain.

These mirrors were typically crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine cores, utilizing hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, turned brass finials, and silvered glass plates.

Authentic examples display hand-cut dovetails inside the drawers, original brass fittings showing natural oxidisation, hand-planed timber work on the rear panels, and slight irregularities consistent with period hand craftsmanship.

Place the mirror on a contemporary sideboard, console, or dressing table to create a focal point that contrasts warm timber tones against modern neutral backdrops.

Maintain the finish by applying a natural beeswax polish along the grain using a soft cloth, ensuring glass cleaner is sprayed onto a cloth rather than directly onto the timber frame to prevent moisture damage.
