Queen Anne Walnut Dressing Table Mirror Early 18th Century

18th century
Description

An Extremely Good Quality And Very Attractive Early 18th Century, Queen Anne Period, Walnut Dressing Table Mirror, Having Replacement Mirror Plate Set Within Elegant Shaped And Moulded Swing Frame, Raised On Fluted Supports To Elegant Stepped Base, With Three Short And One Long Drawers, Raised On Original Sled Type Feet. 

Dressing table mirrors, which were often referred to as “toilet mirrors”, were made from the beginning of the 18th Century onwards.

Designed to sit on top of 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 desirable because it is extremely early in date when compared to most, dating to the very early 18th Century and also it is constructed from lovely walnut  timbers which retains a good colour and patina. It also features a slightly unusual drawer configuration and stepped design to the base, whilst standing on its original sled feet which are a really lovely feature.

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.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Queen Anne dressing table mirrors, originating in the early 18th century, typically feature figured walnut veneers, arched or moulded mirror frames, and a box base fitted with small drawers. These mirrors, traditionally called toilet mirrors, were designed to sit atop a chest of drawers or a dressing table.

Craftsmen primarily constructed these pieces using solid oak or pine casing veneered with figured walnut, burr walnut, or mahogany. The mirror plates featured hand-blown glass with subtle mercury silvering, while drawer pulls and escutcheons were cast from solid brass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, oak or pine secondary timbers visible underneath, and natural shrinkage or irregular oxidisation on backboards. The brass hardware often displays hand-chased details, and original glass may show faint foxing consistent with mercury silvering.

Position the piece on a modern console table, dressing desk, or sideboard to create a focal point with visual depth. Pairing rich dark timber with clean neutral walls, contemporary ceramics, or brass accents balances historic texture with current interior design.

Dust the timber using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently along the grain. Avoid spray glass cleaners on antique mirror plates, as moisture seepage can damage the silver backing; instead, wipe glass carefully with a slightly damp lint-free cloth.
