Built from solid tiger oak (also known as quarter-sawn oak), it features a bold, dramatic grain pattern and refined carved detailing.

With over 40 years in the antique furniture business, we’ve never come across another mirror quite like this. The rare dual-pivot mechanism allows the mirror to both tilt up and down and swivel side to side — an extremely unusual and likely custom-made feature. The mirror is surrounded by an ornate beveled oak frame with deeply carved scrollwork, floral accents, and flowing curves that add a sophisticated flourish.

Additional highlights:

Serpentine-front top drawers

Carved cabriole legs on original casters

Brass drawer pulls with aged patina

Paneled sides and finely fitted joinery

A lock in every drawer, suggesting it was made for a household with staff

Mirror appears to have been resilvered and remains bright and clear

This is an authentic antique, not a reproduction, likely dating to around 1900. It's a statement piece that embodies turn-of-the-century American furniture design — both elegant and functional.
