This unusual Victorian double swing mirror dates from 1870 and is crafted in warm brown mahogany with mirror glass. The design incorporates two adjustable oval mirrors set within matching frames, mounted upon a central carved scroll pedestal and curved wooden base, complemented by elaborate scrollwork side supports and a small raised top platform. Original plates show natural ageing and foxing consistent with the period, while the woodwork displays rich grain patterns and fine decorative mouldings. Measuring 74 cm high, 93 cm wide and 40 cm deep, the piece sits securely upon a wide half-round plinth with small feet underneath. This striking dressing table mirror makes a practical and decorative addition when placed atop a bedroom dressing chest, a hallway console table or a living room sideboard today.

FAQs

A toilet mirror, historically referred to as a swing or cheval tabletop mirror, was designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to sit atop a dressing table or chest of drawers to assist with personal grooming.

Victorian dressing mirrors were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, paired with silvered mirror glass and carved scrollwork supports.

Authentic Victorian examples often display hand-carved scroll detailing, wooden or brass pivot fixings on the frame sides, and age-related foxing or oxidisation across the original glass panel.

Positioning a carved wooden dressing mirror on a contemporary hallway console table or bedroom sideboard provides an interesting contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern minimalist decor.

Clean the timber surfaces using a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, while taking care to clean the glass gently without moisture reaching the backing edges.
