What is a cheval mirror?

A cheval mirror is a tall, floor-standing swing mirror held within a supportive wooden frame. It allows a person to view their entire outfit from head to toe. The frame uses pivot pins on each side so the glass plate tilts forward or backward to adjust the viewing angle.

How do you use a tilting mirror?

You adjust the angle of the glass by gently pushing or pulling the top or bottom of the frame. The side pivots hold the glass firmly in your chosen position. Floor-standing versions often include brass handles or thumb screws to tighten the tension on the pivoting mechanism.

Where should I place a tilting mirror?

These mirrors suit bedrooms, dressing rooms, or hallways where full-length reflections are practical. Placing them near a window helps bounce natural light around the room. Ensure the floor beneath a heavy floor-standing model is level so the frame maintains its structural balance.
