About the Item

This elegant French Empire mahogany cheval floor mirror, early 1800’s, retains the original glass and features a rectilinear mahogany frame which can pivot to adjust the angle or reflection. The panel is suspended from round columns surmounted by carved urn finials, lifted off the floor by cabriole-style feet (bearing a strong visual reference to horses) raised on brass casters to move about as needed. The whole is accented with gilt-brass appliques of rosettes and anthemion motifs typical of the Empire style. The wood glows with excellent color and grain pattern recently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain the historic character. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
