Step into a moment of grace with this Teak Cheval Mirror, lovingly finished in a soft antique cream that evokes candlelit parlors and sun-drenched dressing rooms. Its oval mirror floats within a sculptural frame, gently tilting to reflect not just your image—but your mood, your morning, your memory.
Design Details
• Frame: Crafted from solid teak, known for its durability and fine grain, the mirror’s frame is painted in a warm cream that softens its
silhouette and adds a touch of vintage romance.
• Shape & Curves: The oval mirror is cradled by two spiral-turned columns, each rising like a pair of ballet dancers mid-pirouette. Their
curves are both playful and poised, adding movement to the otherwise serene composition.
• Base: The mirror rests on a scalloped platform, subtly arched like a bridge between past and present. The feet are squared and grounded,
giving the piece a sense of quiet authority.
>A Historical Whisper
The cheval mirror—named after the French word cheval, meaning “horse”—was originally designed in the 18th century to stand freely, like a noble steed, ready to serve. In Victorian homes, it became a symbol of refinement and self-awareness, often placed in dressing rooms where secrets were whispered and silhouettes admired.
Why It Matters Today
In today’s interiors, this mirror is more than functional—it’s transformative.
• Place it in a bedroom to soften the space and add vertical grace.
• Let it anchor a dressing corner, paired with a velvet stool and a vase of dried blooms.
• Or use it in a hallway, where its gentle curves break the monotony and invite reflection.
Whether your style leans romantic, bohemian, or minimalist, this piece adapts—offering a whisper of history and a clear view of the present.
