What is a cheval glass?

A cheval glass is a tall, freestanding mirror supported by a framework with legs and pivots. It allows a person to view their entire outfit. These mirrors date back to the Georgian and Regency eras, evolving as essential furniture for bedrooms and dressing rooms.

How do I use a cheval glass?

Place the freestanding mirror in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway where natural light assists with reflection. The pivoted frame tilts to angle the glass as needed. Ensure the floor is even so the four-legged frame remains stable while adjusting the mirror plate.

How do I date a Georgian mirror?

Examine the timber, construction methods, and secondary woods used within the frame. Georgian and Regency pieces often feature hand-cut dovetails and older brass hardware. Stylistic cues such as boxwood inlay, serpentine fronts, and turned uprights also help assign a piece to the eighteenth or nineteenth century.

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

A cheval mirror is a full-length floor-standing glass designed to show the complete figure. It stands independently on its own four legs. A toilet mirror is much smaller and intended to rest on top of a dressing table, chest, or bureau, often incorporating small storage drawers in the base.
