Dressing table mirrors first emerged at the start of the 17th Century as small mirrors secured inside a box and placed on a table. At the time all mirrors were extremely expensive things, so these were luxury items for the wealthy. As the century progressed the dressing room or bedroom would become an important place for meeting close friends and the by the end of the 17th Century the famous toilet or swing mirror emerged as an elegant and practical item. These mirrors remained popular through the 18th and 19th Centuries with Mahogany becoming the most popular timber.
Today you can find a wide range of antique and vintage dressing mirrors to suit any room. Despite ever changing fashions, an elegant and practical dressing mirror remains a coveted item for most women. They have become timeless and add a touch of feminine elegance to any space.
