Vintage Arts & Crafts Chevalier Mirror

Design Plus Gallery presents a Vintage Chevalier Mirror. With Arts & Crafts hallmarks and materials, it is a classic piece worth reflecting on. The full length mirror swings on an oak upright frame, carved at crown and base, with brass catches to hold the mirror at the perfect angle. Light evidence of wear; overall good condition.

“The cheval mirrors were invented in France during the 1700s. They were used as a dressing mirror; it got the name due to four feet at the base, which resembles the horse. In France, cheval means “Horse.” The cheval mirrors are the full-length mirror that you usually see in the bedrooms.
