Description

An early 19th century cheval mirror of superior quality, c1835.

The brass fittings to the back, holding the panelled mirror in place is stamped with "Cope & Austen" who were founded in 1760 and made premium brass fitting components.

FAQs

A William IV cheval mirror is a full-length floor-standing dressing mirror created during the reign of King William IV (18301837). These pieces feature dual-upright mahogany frames that allow the central glass to tilt, often styled with carved scroll supports and heavy architectural bases.

Early nineteenth-century cheval mirrors were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as flame mahogany or rosewood. The frames feature hand-cut joinery, mercury or early silvered plate glass, and solid brass fittings such as adjustable sconces or casters.

Authentic William IV furniture displays transitional characteristics between Georgian restraint and early Victorian weight, featuring carved acanthus leaves, scroll feet, bold mouldings, and rich mahogany veneers. Inspection of the underside typically reveals hand-sawn timber, original brass hardware, and age-consistent patination.

A freestanding cheval mirror works effectively in a dressing room, primary bedroom suite, or spacious entrance hall. Positioned to reflect natural light, the warm mahogany tones complement neutral contemporary palettes as well as traditional period schemes.

Mahogany frames should be dusted regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and treated periodically with a high-grade beeswax polish. Avoid harsh chemical spray cleaners on the wood and glass to preserve the historic finish and prevent desilvered backing on the mirror.
