FAQs

A cheval mirror is a full-length dressing mirror mounted within a frame that allows the glass to tilt freely on dual upright supports. Popularised in the late 18th century, the term derives from the French word for horse, referencing the four legs supporting the structure.

Authentic 19th-century examples are commonly constructed from solid mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, frequently incorporating inlaid boxwood or satinwood patera. The swivelling mechanism relies on side knobs or brass friction joints, while the base features splayed legs with brass castors.

Examine the reverse for hand-planed backboards, original brass castors, and period joinery such as mortise and tenon construction. Original mercury-silvered or early silvered glass typically exhibits light foxing, minor de-silvering, or subtle grey tonal variations consistent with age.

Position the mirror in a dressing room, bedroom, or hallway to reflect light and introduce structural height. The rich timber tone contrasts effectively with neutral linen fabrics, heritage paint colours, or modern minimalist decor.

Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish along the wood grain occasionally. Clean the mirror plate with a damp cloth or specialized glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth to prevent moisture from seeping into the wooden rebate.
