FAQs

A cheval mirror is a full-length mirror supported by a frame with vertical pivots, allowing the glass to tilt. The faux bamboo style became exceptionally popular in France and England during the 19th century, heavily influenced by imported Japanese and Chinese art during the aesthetic movement.

Authentic period pieces are typically crafted from hardwoods such as beech, mahogany, or birch. Artisans carved or turned the solid wood on a lathe to meticulously replicate the characteristic joints, nodes, and rings of natural bamboo before applying a polished finish or stain.

Authentication relies on examining the construction methods, such as hand-cut joinery, old screw types, and the composition of the glass. Period mirrors often feature original mercury or silvered glass with minor oxidisation spots, alongside heavy, dense timber frames rather than modern lightweight resins.

A statement floor mirror adds depth and reflects natural light into a room. Position it to capture a view of a window or artwork, pairing it with minimalist contemporary furnishings to let the historic texture of the wooden frame stand out as a focal point.

Dust the carved frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid commercial aerosol polishes that can build up residue. Clean the glass gently using a cloth sprayed with a mild glass cleaner, ensuring no liquid seeps into the wooden frame or behind the mirror plate.
