This Edwardian cheval mirror consists of a tilting glass plate set inside a rectangular mahogany frame with satinwood banding, complemented by an arched cresting rail featuring boxwood line inlay and turned finials at the upper corners. The medium brown timber structure includes vertical uprights decorated with stringing, supported by splayed legs with casters and a low horizontal shelf beneath the swing frame. The complete piece measures 184 cm high, 66.5 cm wide and 58 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a dressing room or bedroom, the mirror provides a full-length reflection while adding traditional English Country House character to the interior. The design incorporates brass castors on the feet, bevelled glass edging, and decorative wood inlays that enhance the period appearance without requiring assembly or specialized maintenance.

FAQs

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.
