FAQs

A cheval mirror, derived from the French word for horse due to its four-legged support frame, is a full-length dressing mirror mounted on a swivel frame. Popularised in the late eighteenth century, it allowed the user to adjust the tilt of the mirror glass for complete viewing.

Traditional Victorian cheval mirrors were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, featuring hand-turned supports, brass adjustment knobs, and splayed legs resting on brass castors. The mirror plate was framed in timber and reinforced with a solid wooden backing panel.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-cut joinery, hand-turned finials, original brass friction knobs or ratchets, and subtle aging or oxidisation on the silvered mirror glass. Look for timber backboards with original securing screws and hand-carved detailing along the stretcher and feet.

Position a mahogany cheval mirror in a dressing room, bedroom suite, or hallway to enhance light and visual depth. Combining rich timber tones with neutral wall palettes or modern textured upholstery creates a balanced, layered interior aesthetic.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to preserve the natural patina. Clean the mirror glass carefully with a specialized glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth to prevent liquid from seeping into the wooden frame.
