Antique Georgian Style Mahogany Dressing Mirror | Swan Neck Crest

1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique early 20th century Georgian style swing dressing table mirror in mahogany, a charming and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and elegant period-inspired detail.

The rectangular mirror plate sits within a moulded mahogany frame, headed by a pierced swan neck cresting with scrolled terminals and a central fretted lozenge.

The mirror pivots between square uprights topped with brass acorn finials and fitted with brass ring-turned adjusting screws, so it can be tilted to any angle, and stands on shaped trestle feet joined by a stretcher. The back is panelled in oak.

The mahogany displays an attractive grain and a warm, rich colour with a lovely mellow patina.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age, the original mirror plate showing some light foxing and marks. A very desirable dressing table mirror of neat, compact proportions, a perfect addition to any dressing table, chest of drawers or bedroom.

This early 20th century Georgian style dressing mirror uses dark brown mahogany, glass, and brass, standing 47 cm high, 30.5 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. The rectangular frame holds a mirror plate beneath a pierced swan neck cresting with scrolled terminals and a central fretted lozenge. The frame pivots between square uprights topped with brass acorn finials, fitted with brass ring-turned adjusting screws, and supported by shaped trestle feet joined by a stretcher. In a home today, this mirror suits placement on a dressing table, a chest of drawers, or a sideboard top in a bedroom. The timber displays an attractive grain with a warm, rich colour, while the original glass exhibits light foxing and marks from age.

Tabletop dressing mirrors, historically termed toilet mirrors, gained prominence during the 18th century. Designed to sit atop chests of drawers or dressing tables, they catered to modern personal grooming practices of the Georgian era.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine frames, featuring brass swivel fixings and mercury-silvered glass mirror plates.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail or mortise joinery, natural timber oxidisation on unpolished rear surfaces, and characteristic foxing or light desilvered spots on the glass.

Place the mirror on a hallway console table, bedroom dresser, or sideboard top to introduce classic architectural proportions and timber warmth alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust timber elements regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly in the direction of the grain. Clean glass surfaces using a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excess liquid near the frame edges to protect the silvering.
