How Much is a Victorian Cheval Mirror?
Finding the Right Mirrors for You
The road from early innovations in reflective glass to the alluring antique and vintage mirrors in trendy modern interiors has been a long one but we’re reminded of the journey everywhere we look.
In many respects, wall mirrors, floor mirrors and full-length mirrors are to interior design what jeans are to dressing. Exceedingly versatile. Universally flattering. Unobtrusively elegant. And while all mirrors are not created equal, even in their most elaborate incarnation, they're still the heavy lifters of interior design, visually enlarging and illuminating any space.
We’ve come a great distance from the polished stone that served as mirrors in Central America thousands of years ago or the copper mirrors of Mesopotamia before that. Today’s coveted glass Venetian mirrors, which should be cleaned with a solution of white vinegar and water, were likely produced in Italy beginning in the 1500s, while antique mirrors originating during the 19th century can add the rustic farmhouse feel to your mudroom that you didn’t know you needed.
By the early 20th century, experiments with various alloys allowed for mirrors to be made inexpensively. The geometric shapes and beveled edges that characterize mirrors crafted in the Art Deco style of the 1920s can bring pizzazz to your entryway, while an ornate LaBarge mirror made in the Hollywood Regency style makes a statement in any bedroom. Friedman Brothers is a particularly popular manufacturer known for decorative round and rectangular framed mirrors designed in the Rococo, Louis XVI and other styles, including dramatic wall mirrors framed in gold faux bamboo that bear the hallmarks of Asian design.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, mid-century modernism continues to influence the design of contemporary mirrors. Today’s simple yet chic mantel mirror frames, for example, often neutral in color, owe to the understated mirror designs introduced in the postwar era.
Sculptor and furniture maker Paul Evans had been making collage-style cabinets since at least the late 1950s when he designed his Patchwork mirror — part of a series that yielded expressive works of combined brass, copper and pewter — for Directional Furniture during the mid-1960s. Several books celebrating Evans’s work were published beginning in the early 2000s, as his unconventional furniture has been enjoying a moment not unlike the resurgence that the Ultrafragola mirror is seeing. Designed by the Memphis Group’s Ettore Sottsass in 1970, the Ultrafragola mirror, in all its sensuous acrylic splendor, has become somewhat of a star thanks to much-lauded appearances in shelter magazines and on social media.
On 1stDibs, we have a broad selection of vintage and antique mirrors and tips on how to style your contemporary mirror too.
- Can I hang a cheval mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022While a cheval mirror is typically a standing mirror that rests on the floor, you can hang the mirror with the right hardware. A picture-hanging kit that can bear the weight of the mirror should do the trick! On 1stDibs, find a collection of cheval mirrors from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a Cheval mirror called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Cheval mirror is often referred to as horse dressing glass or psyche. The term is often used to describe mirrors that are tall and suspended between two pillars with horizontal bars and four legs. It is sometimes referred to as a dressing mirror, often seen as a full-length mirror with a freestanding frame that allows the mirror to tilt up and down. Shop a range of antique and vintage Cheval glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Victorian mirrors looked ornate and opulent. Created during the reign of Queen Victoria, Victorian mirrors were typically framed in heavily carved oak, mahogany or walnut. All of the era’s furniture was especially decorative, and so the wood used to frame mirrors was frequently painted or gilded. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Victorian mirrors.
