We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

This George II period toilet mirror follows a classic Georgian dressing glass design crafted from figured walnut with warm brown tones, brass fittings, glass, and gold leaf. The rectangular swing frame has an arched top with tucked corners, a gilded inner slip moulding, and brass finials atop two slightly tapering uprights. It rests on a shaped base fitted with a concave-fronted drawer flanked by two smaller drawers, a moulded edge plinth, and bracket feet. The original glass displays patinated characteristics alongside a deep shine on the polished wood surface. The piece measures 61 cm high, 43 cm wide, and 20.5 cm deep. Today, this dressing glass suits placement on a sideboard top, bedroom chest, or dressing table within an English country house interior. It provides a practical vanity mirror for daily grooming routines while adding traditional antique character to a living space, hallway, or bedroom setup.

FAQs

A Georgian toilet mirror, also known as a dressing glass, is a tabletop swing mirror mounted above a small drawer base, designed during the 18th century for personal grooming.

These pieces typically feature figured walnut or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcasses, gilded slip mouldings, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and cast brass fittings.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-sawn wood veneers, early glass plates showing age-related silvering oxidisation, period-correct brass hardware, and hand-planed back panels.

Place the mirror atop a bedroom chest of drawers, a hallway console table, or a dressing table to create a refined historic focal point.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to protect the wood veneer, and avoid applying glass cleaner directly near the timber frame.
