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 cheval mirror is a full-length dressing mirror mounted on a four-legged frame, featuring central pivots that allow the frame to tilt forward and backward.

Traditional construction incorporates solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, glass mirror plates, and brass pivot fittings or sconces.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved detailing, original brass hardware, natural wood backing boards, and light age-related oxidation on the silvered mirror glass.

Position the mirror near natural light sources in a master suite, dressing room, or hallway to enhance space and reflect ambient lighting alongside period or contemporary furnishings.

Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax polish along the wood grain annually, and clean the glass plate using a dedicated glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth.
