Georgian Walnut Dressing Table Mirror

18th century
Description

A Good Quality And Very Attractive, Early 18th Century, George I Period. Walnut Dressing Table Mirror, Having Elegant Frame Enclosing Replacement Mirror Plate, Over Superbly Figured Three Drawer Box Base And Original Bracket Feet.

Dressing table mirrors, often 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 example is particularly attractive and nice because it is relatively early when compared to most, dating to the early 18th Century and also it is constructed from a very attractive burr walnut which retains a lovely mellow colour and patina.

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 replaced, but not brand absolutely brand new and it is therefore very much fit for its original purpose. Overall the item is in very good condition.

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 1720.

Height 25in.

Width 15.5in.

Depth 8in.

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.
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.

A Georgian toilet mirror, also known as a dressing glass, is a free-standing tabletop mirror developed in the 18th century. It typically features an adjustable rectangular or arched mirror frame mounted on upright posts above a wooden plinth base containing small drawers.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted from native and imported hardwoods, most notably walnut and mahogany. Construction often incorporated pine or oak drawer linings, hand-carved gilded wood sight edges, solid brass hardware, and hand-cut plate glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed secondary timbers on the underside, and natural oxidisation on original brass drop handles. The mirror glass may show subtle desilvering or foxing consistent with age.

Place the mirror atop a neutral sideboard, chest of drawers, or vanity table to create a focal point. Pair it with contemporary ceramic vessels or natural linen textiles to contrast its warm wooden tones and historic silhouette.

Clean the wooden surfaces using a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain to preserve the original finish. Avoid chemical glass cleaners on antique mirror glass, wiping instead with a damp lint-free cloth.
