About the Item

A Very Attractive Late 18th Century Mahogany Serpentine Shaped, Georgian Dressing Table Mirror, Of Unusually Large Proportions, Having Elegant Shield Shaped Plate, Over Shaped Base With One Long Frieze Drawer, Raised On Original Ogee Feet.  Often referred to as “toilet mirrors”, dressing table mirrors were made from the beginning of the 18th Century onwards. Designed to sit atop a dressing table, or chest of drawers, in the bedroom or dressing room they are found in a huge variety of sizes, woods, shapes, sizes and qualities. This is a nice example, George III and constructed from attractive well figured mahogany timbers which retain a good colour and surface. It is also a bit larger than normal, so boasts great presence and the shield design mirror plate is always a popular feature as it adds something a little different when compared to the more common plain oval shape. Although originally designed to sit on top of a dressing table it is of course most versatile and would suit a whole variety of locations around the home. The mirror plate is almost probably not original, but has been in place for a significant amount of time and remains in good condition with just a few areas of pitting, or silvering, as one would expect. Overall the item is in very good condition and has received a natural wax polish by our restorers before being offered for sale. Circa 1770. Height 29in. Width 21in. Depth 11in.
