Description

A handsome Victorian mahogany dressing table mirror, dating to the mid-19th century, of elegant and practical design.

The rectangular mirror plate is set within a shaped mahogany frame with decorative gilt slip, flanked by upright supports terminating in turned finials and retaining the original brass adjustment fittings. The mirror stands on a well-proportioned three-drawer box base, providing useful storage for dressing table requisites, writing accessories, or jewellery.

Crafted in richly figured mahogany with warm colour and pleasing patina, this is a classic Victorian toilet mirror combining practicality with understated elegance. A versatile antique that works equally well on a dressing table, chest of drawers, desk, or sideboard.

Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with use and age, including light marks to the mirror plate and minor historic wear to the timber.

Circa 1840–1860
