A Rare Georgian Skeleton Toilet Mirror

18th century
Description

A rare Georgian crested skeleton frame swing toilet mirror. Of mahogany construction with its original brass finials and side winders. The fret cut crest to the top is of typical Georgian form. The uprights have simple vertical incised line decoration and sledge feet to support them. The mirror glass has been replaced long ago with a glass that is light as a feather as the original would have been. The mirror wood back is original. The frame has a shaped gilded gesso inner surround. These little mirrors are few and far between now in this form and this is particularly nice with its original brass work.

Max 27 cm wide 43.5 cm high and max 15 deep

Exposed mirror glass is 19.5 wide and 25.5 cm high.

OVERSEAS buyers please ask for shipping costs before purchasing.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A skeleton toilet mirror is an 18th-century tabletop dressing glass featuring an open wooden framework without integrated base drawers, designed to rest directly on a dressing table or chest of drawers.

Georgian toilet mirrors were typically crafted from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-cut joinery, brass pivot handles, and silvered glass plates with mercurial backings.

Authentic pieces from this period display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut brass fittings, authentic foxing on the glass, and visible wood shrinkage along joinery seams.

Position the mirror on a hallway sideboard, vanity desk, or marble mantelpiece to add architectural structure and historical character alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust the timber with a soft lint-free cloth and apply microcrystalline wax periodically, avoiding ammonia-based glass cleaners near the frame or silvered backing.
