FAQs

A cheval mirror, derived from the French word for horse due to its four-legged support frame, is a full-length freestanding mirror mounted on swivel pivots. While introduced in the late 18th century, it gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era as essential bedroom furniture for dressing.

Victorian cheval mirrors were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, frequently incorporating decorative flame mahogany veneers. Frame construction typically features mortise and tenon joinery, turned or scrolled upright stiles, and brass adjustment handles or friction pins to secure the mirror at different angles.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-cut joinery on the rear panelling, natural wear to the original brass castors, and original mercury or early silvered glass showing slight foxing or atmospheric degradation. The mahogany timber often exhibits a deep patina with hand-polished shellac or beeswax finishes.

A period cheval mirror serves as a focal piece in a dressing room, bedroom, or spacious hallway. Positioning the mirror opposite a light source maximises natural illumination, while the dark wood tone provides contrast against contemporary neutral or deeply toned walls.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year. Clean the glass with a damp microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays or excessive moisture that could seep behind the frame and damage original silvering.
