Lot 724: A Queen Anne Style Mahogany Cheval Dressing Mirror
A solid mahogany cheval dressing mirror in the Queen Anne style, closely resembling the model 190 29 by Henkel Harris. The full-length rectangular mirror plate is set within a mahogany frame with a decoratively shaped and arched cresting. The mirror is held between two upright supports topped with turned finials and is adjustable on a tilting pivot mechanism with brass adjustment screws. The stand features splayed, scrolled legs joined by a decoratively shaped cross-stretcher. No maker marks are visible, although small orange and yellow adhesive lot tags are present on the frame and base.
Condition report:
The mirror glass appears to be in good condition, showing a clear reflection with no significant silvering loss or foxing apparent. The mahogany frame exhibits minor superficial scuffs, scratches, and light wear to the finish, all consistent with the item\'s age and regular use. The structure remains sound.
