Antique Edwardian Mahogany Dressing Table Vanity Mirror

1900 - 1920
Description

A very attractive antique Edwardian mahogany dressing table or vanity mirror dating to around 1900, with elegant curved supports, a shaped frame and a beautifully bevelled mirror plate. The warm mahogany colour and restrained detailing give it a refined appearance that works equally well in a traditional bedroom, dressing room or a more contemporary interior.

The shield-shaped mirror is set within a shaped mahogany frame and retains a wide bevelled edge, which catches the light particularly well. It is supported between two elegant upright side supports with small turned roundels and brass adjustment knobs, allowing the mirror to be tilted to the preferred angle.

The uprights sweep down into shaped scroll supports joined by a shaped stretcher, while the whole piece stands on broad shaped feet. The combination of the curved lines, finely finished mahogany and bevelled glass is very characteristic of good Edwardian dressing furniture.

A stylish and very usable antique vanity mirror, ideal for a dressing table, bedroom or dressing room, with particularly pleasing proportions and a sophisticated simplicity that makes it easy to place in both period and modern interiors.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Cast brass threaded turn-screws: original mounting hardware from the decade.
Wide bevelled edge following the shield profile: hand-ground plate glass.

This Edwardian dressing table mirror dates to 1900, rendered in a warm brown mahogany with glass and brass. The shield-shaped glass plate features a wide bevel, set within a shaped wooden frame and held by brass tension knobs and small turned roundels on upright side supports. These uprights sweep down to scroll supports and broad splayed feet, linked together by a shaped stretcher. Measuring 77.5 cm high, 53 cm wide and 27 cm deep, the piece sits comfortably atop a bedroom chest of drawers, dressing table or side table. It tilts to adjust the angle for daily grooming, bringing traditional English country house character to both period homes and modern interiors.

FAQs

A toilet mirror, derived from the French term toilette referring to personal grooming, is a freestanding tabletop mirror produced during the Edwardian period (19011910). These mirrors typically feature a swivelling wooden frame mounted between two upright supports.

Edwardian vanity mirrors were commonly crafted from dark hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood inlay. The glass plates were often hand-bevelled along the perimeter and secured with brass pivot screws and side knobs.

Authentic pieces generally display lighter construction than heavier Victorian predecessors, featuring elegant curves, shield or oval-shaped frames, and brass tension fittings. Inspection of the reverse reveals original timber backing boards and signs of oxidation on early silvered glass.

Position the mirror atop a modern chest of drawers, a hallway console table, or a bedroom vanity to add depth and historical texture. Pair it with contemporary ceramic dishes or minimalist lighting to balance traditional woodwork with clean modern lines.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly to the mahogany frame using a lint-free cloth, buffing along the grain to preserve the finish. Clean the glass plate with a mild solution applied directly to a microfibre cloth rather than spraying the surface, preventing moisture from entering the timber frame.
