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.
