Where should I place a cheval mirror?

These tall mirrors function best in bedrooms or dressing rooms where floor space permits full-length viewing. Position them near natural light sources to brighten the room and maximise the reflective surface.

How do I adjust the mirror angle?

Most examples use lateral pivot screws or brass hardware fitted into the upright support pillars. Turning these mechanisms gently allows the glass frame to tilt forward or backward to the desired viewing angle.

Are these mirrors heavy to move?

Freestanding floor models constructed from solid mahogany or oak possess substantial weight due to the timber frame and glass. Two people should lift and relocate them to prevent straining the upright joints and pivot fixings.

What is the difference between cheval and toilet mirrors?

Cheval mirrors stand tall upon the floor to reflect the entire body. Toilet mirrors are scaled down for placement on top of dressing tables or chests of drawers.
