How do I use a cheval mirror?

A cheval mirror stands independently on the floor, allowing you to view your entire outfit from head to toe. The frame uses side pivots so you can tilt the glass forwards or backwards to find the correct viewing angle.

Where should I place a cheval mirror?

These mirrors are traditionally positioned in a bedroom or dressing room near natural light sources. Their freestanding nature means they do not require wall mounting. Ensure the floor is level so the heavy frame rests evenly on its feet or castors.

What is the difference between a cheval mirror and a toilet mirror?

A cheval mirror is a tall, floor-standing piece that shows your whole reflection. A toilet mirror is much smaller and sits on top of a dressing table or chest. Toilet mirrors generally only show the upper body and face.

How do I date an antique cheval mirror?

Dating relies on examining the timber species, construction methods, and the style of the frame supports. Regency and Victorian examples show distinct leg designs and brass hardware typical of their eras. Secondary woods at the back of the frame and the type of mirror glass also provide clues to the period.
