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.

A cheval mirror, named after the French word for horse due to its four-legged supporting frame, is a full-length dressing mirror suspended between uprights that allow it to tilt. During the Edwardian period (19011910), these mirrors were crafted from mahogany with refined line inlays and classical proportions.

Edwardian cheval mirrors were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, frequently decorated with satinwood line stringing. The construction incorporates bevelled glass plates, brass swivelling thumbscrews, and brass castors attached to splayed legs.

Authentic Edwardian pieces feature slender, light proportions compared to earlier Victorian furniture, alongside subtle inlaid satinwood geometry. Look for original brass pivot hardware, authentic castors on splayed legs, and characteristic age-related oxidisation on the timber finish.

Position a cheval mirror in a bedroom, dressing area, or corner to bounce natural light around the room and expand visual space. Pairing dark mahogany timber with crisp modern neutral paintwork provides an elegant balance between period character and contemporary styling.

Dust the timber frame using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to maintain the wood grain. Clean the bevelled glass plate by spraying cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to protect the silvering and timber border from moisture damage.
