This English Regency cheval dressing mirror is a full size freestanding floor piece from around 1815, rendered in high grade plum pudding mahogany with a dark brown timber finish and original mercury glass mirror plate. The rectangular tilting glass plate is held within a wooden frame supported by well turned uprights, finial tops at the apex, ring-turned horizontal stretchers, and splayed legs ending in original brass lion paw feet with working castors. In a modern home, this practical and decorative antique serves as a full-length dressing mirror, well suited for placement in a bedroom or dressing room to reflect light and assist with daily attire. Standing 174 cm high, 83 cm wide, and 44 cm deep, the furniture offers a commanding architectural presence while maintaining traditional Regency proportions and function.

A cheval mirror, also known as a psyche mirror, is a free-standing full-length dressing mirror supported by a four-legged frame, featuring pivot joints that allow the glass to tilt.

Regency cheval mirrors were typically crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, incorporating turned timber stretchers, brass pivot screws, and cast brass paw castors.

Authentic Regency pieces feature hand-carved turned uprights, splayed legs, high-grade mahogany veneers, brass hardware, and original mercury-silvered mirror glass displaying age-appropriate foxing.

Position the mirror in a bedroom, dressing area, or spacious hallway where its rich dark timber creates contrast against neutral walls while reflecting light into the room.

Maintain the timber frame by regularly applying a high-grade beeswax polish with a soft lint-free cloth, and gently clean the glass plate using a dry microfibre cloth to prevent liquid from damaging the silvered backing.
