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 table or swing mirror, is a freestanding tabletop mirror introduced during the eighteenth century, featuring an adjustable glass panel mounted above a timber box base.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted from solid and veneered mahogany, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original silvered glass, and cast brass handles and finials.

Authentic early nineteenth-century examples display hand-sawn timber backing, irregularity in brass turnings, hand-cut joinery on small base drawers, and subtle age-related foxing to the glass panel.

Place the mirror atop a modern sideboard, chest of drawers, or vanity unit to introduce warmth, historic character, and functional height to a bedroom or dressing area.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically in the direction of the grain, taking care not to let polish contact the glass or brass hardware.
