Where should a cheval glass be placed?

These mirrors suit bedrooms and dressing rooms where full-length reflections are practical. Positioning them near a light source helps maximise their reflective function in the room. Because they stand independently on the floor without wall fixings, you can reposition them easily to catch the best angle of daylight.

How do the pivot mechanisms work?

The glass hangs on two central side screws or pivot pins that attach the mirror frame to the upright supports. Tightening these fixings holds the mirror at your chosen tilt. Older mechanisms rely on brass thumb screws which allow simple manual adjustment without tools.

Are all these mirrors full length?

Most floor-standing cheval mirrors provide a full-length view from head to toe. However, the selection also includes smaller table top variations designed for dressers. Check the proportions in the listings to distinguish between grand floor-standing models and compact toilet mirrors.

How do I spot an Edwardian piece?

Edwardian mirrors frequently display lighter mahogany tones and may feature subtle inlaid details or satinwood banding. Their frames often lean towards simpler, refined Edwardian or late Victorian aesthetics. Comparing the turned details and foot designs against known 19th-century styles helps clarify the date of manufacture.
