A beautifully crafted antique Edwardian mahogany table top cheval mirror dating from circa 1900, combining elegant design with practical concealed storage.
Constructed from richly figured mahogany, this charming dressing table mirror features a shaped shield-form bevelled mirror plate framed by delicate floral decoration and hand-painted embellishments. The mirror is supported by elegant shaped uprights terminating in decorative painted panels and finely detailed carved ornament.
What makes this piece particularly desirable is the pair of concealed side cabinets incorporated into the base. Each cupboard door is beautifully decorated with oval hand-painted landscape scenes and opens to reveal useful storage compartments, originally intended for jewellery, dressing accessories, correspondence, or personal items.
The graceful proportions, shield-shaped mirror, hand-painted decoration, and functional design perfectly capture the refinement of the Edwardian period. Pieces of this q
...uality are increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples retaining their original decorative painted panels and practical storage interiors.
Ideal for use on a dressing table, chest of drawers, bedroom suite, or hall table, this elegant antique mirror provides both decorative impact and everyday practicality.
