Regency Mahogany Dressing Table Mirror

19th century
Description

A high quality Regency dressing table mirror with two drawers and reeded mirror support columns terminating in bronze finials. The frame of the oval mirror is inlaid with ebony stars and bold stringing, complimenting the rich 'plum pudding' mahogany. The brass handles are original, there is a small very minor piece missing from one of them, but this does not take away from the beauty of this mirror and we think it adds to the character. The original glass has a soft quality that adds to the authenticity of this Regency piece. Please note that the images of the glass are edited to remove reflections, the last picture with the reflections shows the unedited glass.

This Regency dressing table mirror dates from the 19th century and is made from rich warm brown plum pudding mahogany, glass, and brass. The rectangular mirror frame holds an oval glass plate featuring inlaid star marquetry and bold stringing in the corners. It is mounted between reeded upright supports that terminate in decorative brass finials. The structure rests upon a rectangular plinth base containing a configuration of three small drawers fitted with original metal ring handles. Standing 82 cm high by 83 cm wide, this compact furnishing fits comfortably atop a bedroom chest of drawers or a hallway sideboard. Inside a contemporary home, this mirror functions practically for daily grooming rituals in a master bedroom or guest dressing area. The traditional design and warm timber tones suit period properties, country houses, or eclectic modern interiors seeking classic character. The piece sits securely on any flat surface, providing both functional utility and decorative presence in a living space.

FAQs

A Regency dressing table mirror, often termed a toilet mirror or swing mirror, dates from the early 19th century and features classical proportions, fine timber veneers such as mahogany, and integrated storage drawers beneath a tilting mirror plate.

These mirrors were primarily constructed using solid mahogany or oak frames veneered with flame mahogany, satinwood, or ebony inlays, incorporating brass hardware, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and silvered mirror glass.

Authenticity can be determined by examining hand-sawn secondary timbers inside the drawers, original brassware with hand-cut screws, early silvered glass showing light oxidisation, and characteristic neoclassical marquetry such as star inlays or reeded uprights.

A Regency mirror can be placed atop a contemporary chest of drawers, a hallway console table, or a bedroom vanity to add historical depth and architectural structure through its rich wood tones and geometric form.

Dust the mahogany surface with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, taking care to clean the glass using a dedicated cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed directly near the wood veneer.
