Elegant Victorian swing mirror crafted from richly grained mahogany, featuring a rectangular mirror plate set within a solid frame. The mirror is supported by turned side uprights with shaped supports and decorative finials, allowing it to tilt smoothly for adjustable viewing. Raised on a shaped platform base with gently curved apron detailing and bun feet, the piece showcases the refined proportions and warm tones characteristic of late 19th-century Victorian design. Both practical and decorative, this antique dressing table mirror makes a timeless addition to a bedroom, hallway, or period interior.
This Victorian mahogany swing mirror most likely dates from the late Victorian period, circa 1870–1890.
The dating is suggested by several features visible in the piece:
- The solid mahogany construction and warm polished finish were typical of quality Victorian bedroom furnishings.
- The turned side supports with rounded finials are characteristic of mid-to-late Victorian design.
- The shaped platform base with serpentine front edge became especially popular in the later 19th century.
- The relatively restrained ornamentation suggests a practical domestic piece rather than the heavier carved styles common later in the Victorian era.
- Some water damage to the base (2 inches round) cant see it from the pictures but you can when you see face to face.
- Size - 16 inches high X 14 inches wide
- Ship world wide or can be collected from Risby, Suffolk
Overall, typical of a late 19th-century Victorian dressing table swing mirror.
