An English dressing mirror in the Queen Anne style, made in walnut and burl walnut with oak secondary wood, 19th century. The rectangular plate has a shaped, arched top and sits in a moulded cushion frame, swivelling between two shaped uprights with scrolled tops. The tilt is set by brass tightening screws with ring pulls on each side.

The base is built as a miniature bureau. The slant front is veneered in bookmatched burl walnut and drops onto two pull-out lopers with brass knobs, opening to a fitted interior of four small drawers with brass knobs, pigeonholes with shaped dividers and a central shelf. Below is a single long drawer with a shaped front and brass escutcheon. The case has canted front corners, a moulded base and bracket feet. The drawer linings and the back boards of both the case and the mirror are oak.

The key, fitted with a gold silk tassel, is included and works both the slant front and the long drawer locks.
