FAQs

A toilet mirror, also known as a dressing glass, is a free-standing tabletop mirror designed to sit atop a dressing table, chest of drawers, or vanity unit. Popularised throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces frequently featured adjustable rectangular or oval frames supported by turned uprights and plinth bases with drawers for small accessories.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, often featuring flame mahogany veneers on drawer fronts and base plinths. Construction methods typically included dovetail joints for the drawers, hand-turned timber uprights, brass adjustment knobs, and mercury-silvered or early plate glass mirror panels.

Authentic period pieces generally display hand-cut joinery on internal drawers, original turned brass or wooden adjustment knobs, and natural wear or light oxidation on the mirror plate. Look for solid wood backboards, traditional slotted screws, and smooth patination across high-touch areas on the timber frame.

Position the mirror on a modern sideboard, bedroom chest of drawers, or hallway console table to introduce warm wood tones and historical texture. Pair it with simple ceramic vessels, neutral lighting, or subtle botanical displays to balance traditional polished mahogany with contemporary decor.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the timber, avoiding synthetic spray polishes. Clean the glass carefully with a lightly damp microfiber cloth, taking care not to let moisture seep into the wooden frame edges or behind the mirror plate.
