How do these mirrors tilt?

The glass frame hangs between two upright floor standards on metal pivot pins or screws. Tightening these pivots holds the mirror plate at your chosen angle. This mechanical setup allows you to adjust the reflection angle without straining the supporting structure.

Are these mirrors full length?

Yes, cheval mirrors are designed specifically to provide a complete head-to-toe reflection. Their height makes them suited for dressing areas and bedrooms. The tall proportions require adequate floor clearance when the glass swings forward or backward.

What woods are most common?

Mahogany forms the vast majority of the frames across Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian examples. Walnut, burr walnut, and oak also appear less frequently. Some specialist pieces feature painted finishes or lacquered wood in the Chinoiserie style.

How do I date a mirror?

Dating relies on stylistic details such as Regency sabre legs, Edwardian inlay work, or Victorian proportions. Timber choice and construction methods also indicate the period. Comparing the decorative motifs against known historical styles helps establish the approximate age.
