This large scale Regency period cheval dressing mirror is constructed from dark brown mahogany and dates from circa 1820. The tall rectangular mirror plate sits within a matching rectangular frame featuring reeded mouldings, set between vertical supports with turned decorative elements at the top. The structure includes two horizontal turned stretchers, positioned above and below the glass. The entire assembly stands on four swept splayed legs finished with bobbin feet and small brass castors. The wood exhibits a deep polished finish, and the glass shows minor spotting consistent with age. Measuring 180 cm high by 76 cm wide by 61 cm deep, the piece requires floor space suitable for a full-length dressing mirror. It functions ideally in a bedroom or dressing room as a practical standing mirror, adding a traditional aesthetic to domestic interiors.

FAQs

A Regency cheval mirror, also known as a dressing glass or psyche, is a full-length free-standing floor mirror produced during the early nineteenth century. Suspended between two vertical uprights, the frame pivots to allow adjustment of the reflection angle.

Cheval mirrors from the Regency era were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, flame mahogany veneers, or rosewood. Structural components feature hand-carved turned stretchers, reeded frames, and brass fittings including castors and adjustment knobs.

Authentic Regency examples exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware, and swept splayed legs. The glass often shows light silvering degradation, while the timber displays natural patination and age-related wear around stress points.

A Regency cheval mirror can be placed in a master bedroom, dressing area, or spacious hall to reflect light and create depth. Position the frame near natural light sources alongside tailored upholstery or minimal modern architecture to contrast historical timber detailing.

Dust the timber framework regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically in the direction of the grain. Clean the mirror glass using a damp cloth, avoiding ammonia-based chemical sprays that can cause silvering breakdown along the glass edges.
