Cheval mirror

The cheval glass (also cheval mirror, psyche mirror, horse dressing glass, swing glass) is a free-standing large mirror, usually with a tilt mechanism, that provided a complete reflection from head to foot (thus also the full-length mirror name). This furniture piece was created in the late 18th century for a dressing room and went out of fashion after being replaced by the mirrored doors of wardrobes in the first half of the 20th century.
