What is a pedestal mirror?

A pedestal mirror is a freestanding looking glass supported by a column, base, or upright frame that rests on a table or the floor. It provides an adjustable reflection without requiring wall mounting. These pieces typically feature pivot screws that allow the user to tilt the glass to different viewing angles.

How do I date a mirror?

Dating a mirror involves examining the wood types, construction methods, and hardware style. Victorian pieces often use solid mahogany or walnut with hand-bevelled glass. Later art deco examples from the 1930s favour streamlined chrome, maple, and geometric veneers that reflect the modern design movements of the period.

Were shaving stands common?

Shaving stands were essential bedroom and bathroom furniture pieces during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Gentlemen used them daily for grooming before the widespread adoption of fitted wall mirrors. Many incorporate small drawers for razors and soaps beneath the adjustable pivoting glass.

How should I clean the glass?

Cleaning antique mirror glass requires a soft cloth and a gentle, ammonia-free cleaning solution sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the glass. This prevents moisture from seeping behind the silvered backing. Care must be taken around the edges where the original silvering is often delicate and prone to tarnishing.
