Fine Georgian Period Mahogany & Crossbanded Dressing Table Mirror, Circa 1790

18th century
Description

A fine quality Georgian period mahogany dressing table mirror dating from the late 18th century, beautifully constructed in richly figured mahogany with contrasting satinwood-style crossbanding throughout.

The elegant oval mirror plate is housed within a shaped frame and supported by graceful scrolling uprights with original brass adjustment fittings, allowing the mirror to be tilted to the desired angle. The bow-fronted base is fitted with three drawers, retaining attractive ivory-coloured turned handles and a central escutcheon, all raised on delicate shaped bracket feet.

Particularly noteworthy is the original mirror plate, which displays extensive and highly decorative foxing and silvering deterioration, creating a striking aged appearance and considerable period charm. The warm colour and excellent figuring of the mahogany veneers further enhance its decorative appeal.

A handsome and increasingly sought-after Georgian dressing mirror, ideal for use on a chest of drawers, dressing table or sideboard.

Condition:

Good antique condition with minor marks and wear commensurate with age and use. Original mirror plate with foxing.

Circa: 1790

FAQs

A toilet mirror, historically known as a dressing glass, is a small free-standing mirror designed during the 18th century to sit atop a chest of drawers or dressing table to assist with personal grooming.

These mirrors were predominantly constructed using solid mahogany or walnut, featuring crossbanded timber veneers, boxwood stringing, bone or ivory escutcheons, and hand-silvered glass plates.

Authentic late 18th-century pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints on small base drawers, natural timber oxidation, period brass or bone turnings, and characteristic aging on the original glass plate.

Position the piece on top of a bedroom sideboard, console table, or vanity chest to create an authentic focal point that combines historical craft with contemporary interior schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keep the object away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer lifting.
