English Victorian Walnut Shaving Mirror with Octagonal Base, c.1850–1865
A finely proportioned Victorian gentleman’s shaving mirror in walnut, circa mid-19th Century.
The concave circular mirror plate tilts on its original adjustable bracket, allowing the concave glass to be angled for shaving. Raised on a slender turned baluster stem above a well-modelled stepped base with an unusual octagonal outline with ebonised detailing.
The restrained turning and elegant proportions reflect the influence of earlier Georgian dressing table furniture, giving the piece a lighter and more architectural character than many later Victorian examples.
English, circa 1850–1865.
