Where should I place a cheval mirror?

These mirrors suit dressing rooms, large hallways, and bedrooms where full-height reflection is required. Their freestanding nature allows them to be angled to catch natural light from windows. Ensure the floor surface is level so the pivoting frame operates smoothly without straining the side supports or floor castors.

How do I date a floor mirror?

Dating relies on examining the timber species, framing style, pivot hardware, and construction methods. Earlier 18th-century pieces often feature hand-shaped mahogany and simple brass screws, while later revival pieces show standardised fixings. Stylistic cues such as sabre legs, Hepplewhite shield shapes, or Queen Anne curves also point to specific periods of manufacture or revival.

Are these mirrors heavy to move?

Freestanding floor mirrors are substantial items built from dense hardwoods like mahogany and walnut. Many period designs include brass castors on the feet to assist with repositioning. When moving them, it is best to secure or lock the pivoting mirror plate to prevent it from swinging and risking damage to the glass.

What is the difference between George III and Georgian style?

George III pieces date directly from the reign of that monarch in the 18th century, showcasing authentic period cabinet-making techniques and contemporary design trends. Georgian style covers both original antiques and later revivals from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Revival pieces emulate the proportions and decorative motifs of the 18th century while utilising the manufacturing standards of their own production era.
