FAQs

A cheval mirror, named after the French word for horse due to its four-legged frame, is a free-standing full-length mirror introduced in the late eighteenth century. Designed primarily for dressing rooms, its dual upright posts allow the glass plate to tilt back and forth to provide a complete view of attire.

Nineteenth-century cheval mirrors were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Frame members were joinered using hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, with turned side supports, brass fittings for the swivel mechanisms, and castors on the feet for ease of movement.

Authentic period examples feature original brass thumbscrews or swivel pins, natural wear on hand-turned finials, and period-appropriate joinery beneath the finish. The mirror glass may display light desilverism or foxing, and the underside of the splayed feet often shows signs of hand-planed woodwork.

Place the mirror in a dressing area, bedroom corner, or spacious hallway to reflect natural light and create depth. The rich wood tone provides a grounded anchor in minimalist or contemporary schemes, balancing modern clean lines with structural silhouette.

Clean the timber using a dry microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste periodically along the grain to preserve the wood finish. Avoid applying liquid glass cleaners directly to the mirror plate, as moisture can seep behind the frame and damage the backing foil.
