Georgian 18th Century Dressing Table Mirror

18th century
Description

A Very Good Quality, 18th Century, George II Period Mahogany Dressing Table Mirror, Having Old Rectangular Plate Set Within Gilded Slip To Elegant Moulded Frame, Over Well Figured Base With Three Frieze Drawers, Raised On Elegant Replacement Shaped Bracket Feet.

Dressing table mirrors, which can often be referred to as “toilet mirrors”were made from the beginning of the 18th Century onwards.

Designed to sit atop a dressing table, or chest of drawers, in the bedroom or dressing room they are found in a huge variety of sizes, woods, shapes, sizes and qualities.

This is a particularly nice quality one, constucted from rich, dense, well figured mahogany timber, which still retains a lovely warm colour and patina to this day.

Although originally designed to sit on top of a dressing table it is of course most versatile and would suit a whole variety of locations around the home.

As is pretty much standard on these items the mirror plate is probably replaced, but is certainly very old and has been in place for a significant amount of time. It could possibly even be original, but we cannot guarantee that. Overall the item is in very good condition with the replacement bracket feet being very much in the style of the original feet.

As with all the items which we offer for sale it has been naturally wax polished, in our workshops, by our highly skilled furniture restorers, before being offered for sale, ensuring that it is ready for immediate use.

Circa 1740.

Height 28in.

Width 19.75in.

Depth 9in.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A Georgian dressing table mirror, historically referred to as a toilet glass, is a free-standing tabletop mirror produced during the 18th and early 19th centuries, typically featuring an adjustable glass plate mounted above a base with small storage drawers.

These mirrors were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, frequently accented with hand-carved gilt details, brass fittings, and hand-cut dovetail joinery within the drawer base.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber backing, original brassware with natural oxidisation, hand-cut dovetails on the drawers, and subtle age-related irregularities in the silvering of the mercury glass plate.

Place the mirror atop a chest of drawers, sideboard, or dressing vanity to introduce a classical focal point that contrasts with modern minimalist interior lines.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish along the wood grain annually, ensuring glass cleaner is kept away from the wooden frame to prevent finish damage.
