Antique Oval Mahogany Swing Dressing Table Mirror
This antique oval mahogany swing dressing table mirror is offered as a freestanding piece for the dressing table or bedroom. Its oval plate is held within a mahogany surround and mounted on a swing frame, allowing the mirror to be angled to the viewer.
The frame has shaped uprights that curve outward toward turned knobs on either side, which serve as the pivot controls. The oval glass has a bevelled edge, and the mirror sits on a shaped base stretcher with splayed feet. The style reflects the traditional proportions of cheval and swing dressing mirrors made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the rich reddish-brown tone of the mahogany is a characteristic feature of the period. No maker’s mark or label is visible.
Condition and Collector Interest
The mirror is offered in the condition shown, and we recommend that prospective buyers inspect the piece in person or request further details before bidding. The mahogany surround, shaped uprights and base appear to be original to the piece, with the bevelled oval glass forming part of its traditional character. Bidders should note that the glass is antique and is presented as seen, with no guarantee given as to its silvering or the stability of the swing mechanism.
