Antique Victorian Pitch Pine Turned Large Cheval Floor Standing Swing Mirror C1880

19th century
Description

Antique Victorian Turned Pitch Pine Cheval dressing mirror.

A rare example of a full length Cheval mirror in Pitch Pine.

We have for sale this beautiful classical Late Victorian (C1880) full length Cheval dressing mirror with a substantial turned base made from heavy Pitch Pine which is incredibly rare. The mirror has a stunning colour which has not been stained or dyed but has

deeply mellowed through time almost having a Mahogany tone.

This Lovely mirror features a fully working adjustable tilt which can hold at almost any angle via 2 screws either side, adjusted by inserting a screwdriver to turn. The lovely

mirror incorporates tall finely turned supports with a pair of finials to the top, all standing on its substantial turned H Frame base raised on turned bun feet. The mirrors frame is mitre halving jointed for strength with an added moulding which frames its original glass. The mirror glass is in good condition and is the original but does have some minor pitting throughout in the silvering as shown in the pictures and light scratches in the glass. This mirror has obviously really been cherished and cared for all of its life as the condition is some of the best we have seen. The mirror is complete with its original French polished finish which we have just enhanced by carefully waxing to preserve this item for many years to come and to give a lustrous natural shine to the polish.

Please note: this item is in very good condition for its age but will have the odd blemish. However, we feel that adds to the charm of the item so we have left it untouched and original

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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 cheval mirror, also known as a psyche, is a full-length floor-standing mirror mounted in a frame that allows it to tilt. Developed in Paris in the late eighteenth century, it gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth century across Europe as a core dressing room fixture.

Victorian cheval mirrors were frequently crafted from dense softwoods like pitch pine or hardwoods such as mahogany and walnut. Construction involved wood turning for side pillars and stretchers, mortise and tenon joinery, and heavy cast-brass pivot hardware to secure the tilting mechanism.

Authentic pieces feature straight-grained, resin-rich pitch pine timber exhibiting natural patination and age marks. Look for original hand-turned finials, iron or brass adjusters, authentic hand-bevelled mirror glass, and period joinery signatures on the rear framing.

Place the mirror as a functional focal point in a dressing area, bedroom, or spacious hallway. The warm amber tones of pitch pine contrast cleanly against contemporary muted wall palettes, concrete floors, or minimalist soft furnishings.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly twice a year to preserve moisture and patination. Clean the silvered glass using a soft cloth lightly dampened with water or specialized non-ammoniated cleaner, avoiding contact between liquid and the timber frame.
