Edwardian Brass Shaving Mirror

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Beau Nash Bath
Description

A wonderfully characterful Edwardian dressing or shaving mirror, raised on a turned brass column with a weighted circular base and adjustable oval mirror. The mirror pivots within its shaped brass support, with an integrated light fitting positioned above the plate — a particularly unusual and practical period detail.

The brass has developed an attractive aged patina and the original-style mirror plate shows light foxing consistent with age. The electrical components appear to have been altered or updated over time and should be checked before use.

This Edwardian shaving mirror stands on a weighted circular base with stepped mouldings and supports a turned brass column with an adjustable height mechanism. The pivoting oval mirror plate features an asymmetrical curved top cut-out that houses an integrated electric lamp holder with an exposed filament bulb, connected by a twisted fabric-covered flex. The patinated brass surfaces display visible oxidation marks, surface scratches, and tarnishing, while the reflective glass shows light foxing spots across the surface. Measuring 52 cm high by 29 cm wide and 14 cm deep, the piece sits comfortably on a dressing table, chest of drawers, or vanity unit in a bedroom or bathroom. It serves as a functional desktop grooming glass and decorative accent piece.

FAQs

Edwardian shaving mirrors from the early 20th century were designed primarily for functional grooming on dressing tables or counters. They typically feature heavy brass bases, adjustable swivelling frames, turned pedestals, and occasionally integrated electrical light sockets.

These mirrors were primarily constructed using cast and turned solid brass or electroplated metal alloys, paired with silvered plate glass mirrors. Internal weights made of iron or lead were often added inside the hollow base to ensure stability.

Authentic period pieces show signs of age such as natural oxidisation, uneven patina, threaded brass joinery, original woven flex or rewired fittings, and subtle foxing or silver loss on the mirror plate.

Position the mirror on a bathroom counter, dressing room vanity, or hallway console table to serve as a functional decorative accent. The metallic finish integrates well alongside modern stone, dark timber, or painted surfaces.

Clean the brass frame gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina. Dust the glass regularly and clean it using a damp cloth, taking care not to let moisture pool near the edges where it can damage the mirror backing.
