This freestanding cheval mirror dates from the 1920 period in the Queen Anne Revival style. Constructed from walnut with a warm brown timber finish, the piece comprises a shaped arched glass plate set within a matching wooden frame. Decorative details include a carved shell crest at the top, turned side uprights with small finials at the ends, and splayed legs with scroll carving at the feet. The adjustable mirror pivots between the uprights, secured by threaded brass screws on either side. Practical dimensions stand at 160 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 50 cm deep. Suitable for domestic placement in a dressing room, bedroom, or hallway, the mirror provides a full-length reflection for daily use. The traditional design complements period interiors and country house aesthetics, sitting steadily on a floor surface while offering adjustable angles for grooming and outfit checks.

FAQs

A cheval mirror is a freestanding, full-length mirror suspended within a timber frame on dual upright posts. Originating in Paris in the late eighteenth century, the design gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for dressing rooms and master bedrooms.

Cheval mirrors from the 1920s were primarily constructed using walnut, mahogany, or oak frames, often fitted with silvered plate glass mirrors and brass tension screws to fix the tilting angle.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut joints, natural wood grain variation, era-appropriate brass hardware, turned side uprights, and carved motifs such as shell cresting or cabriole feet.

Positioning a full-length wooden cheval mirror in a light-filled bedroom corner or dressing room adds scale, reflects architectural details, and contrasts warm timber tones against modern neutral backdrops.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly, while cleaning the mirror glass with a mild, non-ammoniated solution applied directly to a cloth rather than the frame.
