This Regency cheval mirror from circa 1810 exemplifies the grand style associated with Gillows. Constructed from mahogany with a warm brown timber colour, the piece has an original rectangular glass mirror plate set within a cross-banded frame. The upright supports feature reeded columns, turned finials, and original gilt lacquered brass castors on splayed legs. Standing 162.5 cm high, 70 cm wide, and 61 cm deep, this floor-standing swivelling mirror functions effectively in a dressing room or bedroom to provide a full-length reflection. The design allows the glass frame to tilt easily for adjustment, while the sturdy splayed base ensures stability on the floor.

FAQs

A Regency cheval mirror is a full-length dressing mirror originating from the early nineteenth century, mounted on a four-legged wooden frame with dual upright posts. The mirror glass is pivoted between the supports, allowing the user to adjust the angle of reflection.

Authentic pieces from this period are predominantly constructed from dense, high-grade mahogany, often embellished with reeded details and brass fittings. The mirror plate features mercury silvering or early fluted glass, supported by splayed legs terminating in brass cap castors.

Look for characteristic construction markers such as hand-cut joinery, reeded or fluted upright columns, finial caps, and brass brassware. Premium cabinetmakers like Gillows often stamped their name on the top edge of drawers or structural rails, alongside using high-quality mahogany timbers.

Place a floor-standing mirror in a dressing room, primary bedroom suite, or wide hallway where its tall proportions add depth and light. Combining dark mahogany woodwork with neutral contemporary walls creates a sophisticated contrast between classical craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the mahogany frame by regularly dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Avoid harsh liquid glass cleaners on the original mirror plate, applying glass cleaner sparingly to a cloth rather than directly onto the surface to protect the silvering.
