How do I tilt the mirror glass?

Most floor mirrors use pivoting side pins or screws set into the upright posts. Adjusting these tension fittings allows the glass to tilt smoothly to the desired angle. Take care to support the glass with one hand while loosening or tightening the fixings to prevent sudden movement or strain on the frame.

Where should I place a floor mirror?

These pieces require stable flooring and sufficient clearance to tilt safely without striking nearby walls or furniture. Bedrooms, dressing rooms, and large hallways are traditional locations that accommodate their height and depth. Positioning the glass opposite a window maximises natural light distribution across the room, enhancing both the reflection and the surrounding space.

How do I date a mahogany mirror?

Dating relies on stylistic clues such as leg shapes, framing details, and manufacturing marks. Regency and William IV pieces often feature sabre legs or brass castors, while Edwardian versions may display simpler inlaid borders. Examining the construction methods of the backboards and the type of mirror glass provides further confirmation of the period of manufacture.

Are these mirrors heavy to move?

Solid mahogany frames combined with thick glass plates create substantial weight. Many period examples include original brass castors on the feet to assist with repositioning. Lift the piece carefully by its main structural frame rather than the pivoting arms or decorative crestings when relocating it within a room.
