This Edwardian easel mirror, dating from around 1900, is made from wood and glass with a dark brown faux-tortoiseshell finish, highlighted by a bright gilt inner slip and small spherical ball feet at the base. The rectangular frame holds its original glass plate and is supported by an integrated easel back, bringing a refined gentlemen's library aesthetic to any interior space. Measuring 38 cm high, 28 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, the piece sits comfortably on a sideboard top or mantelpiece. Well suited for domestic settings today, this accessory functions practically on a bedroom dressing table, a hallway console, or a study bureau. The rich pattern of the timber frame and the traditional metal details offer an authentic antique appearance that complements both period and contemporary interior styling without occupying excessive surface area.

An easel mirror is a portable, freestanding mirror featuring a hinged back support similar to an artists easel, introduced in the 19th century for placement on dressing tables, desks, and vanity units.

Turn-of-the-century mirrors were commonly constructed with wooden frames finished in faux-tortoiseshell, lacquer, or gilding, and fitted with silvered glass plates held securely by wooden backing panels.

Authentic pieces from circa 1900 typically feature light foxing or desilverising on the original mirror plate, period-accurate brass hinges on the rear support leg, and detailed frame work such as gilt slips or hand-finished veneers.

This style of mirror functions well when positioned on a console table, sideboard, or bedside chest alongside contemporary artwork, ceramics, and books to build visual texture.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying liquid glass cleaners directly near the frame edges to prevent fluid from seeping behind the glass, and treat wooden sections with a microcrystalline wax.
