FAQs

A cheval mirror, named after the French word for horse due to its four-legged frame structure, gained widespread popularity in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Designed as a full-length freestanding mirror, it allowed individuals to view their complete attire, becoming an essential fixture in grand bedrooms and dressing rooms of the era.

Cheval mirrors were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring flame veneers. The original mirror plates were crafted using silvered or mercury glass, supported by dual timber uprights, brass pivot fixings, and castors on the base legs.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved joinery, original brass turning knobs or friction pivots, and authentic backboards behind the mirror plate. Gentle foxing or subtle silvering deterioration on the glass, alongside natural wear to the timber finish, indicates genuine age.

Positioning a mahogany cheval mirror in a bedroom, dressing space, or expansive hallway introduces depth and height to the room. The warmth of the timber creates a grounding focal point when juxtaposed against neutral walls or modern minimalist furniture.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the timber glaze. Clean the glass with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding chemical sprays near the wood frame or edges to prevent moisture from seeping behind the plate.
