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.

A Regency cheval mirror is a freestanding, full-length mirror set within a frame that pivots on two upright posts. Developed during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the term derives from the French word for horse, referencing the four-legged base supporting the structure.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted using high-grade mahogany and flame mahogany veneers. Construction included mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-turned upright supports, hand-carved splayed legs, and cast brass toe caps equipped with functional castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cast brass hardware, original bevelled or mercury-silvered mirror glass with subtle foxing, classical proportions, and fine dovetail or tenon joints along the mahogany frame.

Position the mirror in a dressing room, spacious bedroom, or wide entrance hall where it can reflect natural light and create depth. Pairing rich mahogany wood with contemporary neutral upholstery creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Dust the timber framework regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain to preserve the finish. Glass cleaner should be sprayed onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame.
