FAQs

Originating in France during the late 18th century, the cheval mirrornamed after the French word for horse due to its four-legged supporting framebecame an essential piece of bedroom furniture for full-length viewing as fashions shifted towards fitted garments.

Period cheval mirrors were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, brass pivot hardware to allow the glass to tilt, and heavy weighted bases or scrolling feet for stability.

Authentic 19th-century mirrors often feature hand-silvered glass showing minor foxing or oxidisation, hand-turned wooden elements, dovetail joinery on any integrated drawers, and original hand-forged or brass hardware.

Maintain the piece by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, dusting the wood with a dry microfibre cloth, and cleaning the glass gently with a neutral cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the frame.

Position the freestanding mirror in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway to bounce light around the space and create a focal point, pairing its traditional wooden tones with minimalist or contemporary furnishings to create a balanced contrast.
