FAQs

A cheval mirror is a full-length dressing mirror mounted on a vertical frame that allows the glass to tilt. Originating in the late 18th century, these free-standing mirrors gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era for bedroom dressing areas.

Nineteenth-century examples commonly feature dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, often turned into barley twist or column supports. The mirror glass is typically silvered plate held within a moulded frame, resting on a shaped plinth base with brass castors.

Authentic Victorian pieces often display original hand-turned barley twist uprights, foxing or grey spots on the original mirror plate, and hand-cut joinery along the plinth base. Look for original brass pivot handles and castors underneath the feet.

Place a cheval mirror in a light-filled bedroom corner or a spacious dressing area to reflect light and add architectural warmth. Pair the dark wood tones with neutral linens and soft textured rugs to balance the traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity.

Clean the wooden frame with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the timber patina. Avoid harsh chemical sprays on the glass, spraying cleaner onto a cloth first to prevent liquid from seeping into the wooden rebate.
