Early 18th Century Walnut Queen Anne Dressing Table Mirror

A very good quality early 18th century Queen Anne period Walnut Dressing Table Mirror.

Having replacement old mirror plate to moulded and shaped swing frame over three short and one long drawer, raised on later turned feet.

Dressing table mirrors, often referred to as "toilet 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 and qualities.

This is a lovely early example which retains a good rich colour and patina to its walnut veneers.

Of course, although it was originally designed to sit on top of a dressing table it is actually more versatile of course and would suit a whole variety of locations around the home.

The mirror plate itself is replaced, but not brand new, meaning there are a few old marks, but it is very much functional for its original purpose as a dressing table mirror.

The mirror also has replacement turned feet, but they are very much in keeping with the style it would originally have had.

Circa 1710.

Height - 26.5in.
