A cheval glass, also known as a cheval mirror, is a large, full-length mirror mounted on a frame with a tilting mechanism. This allows the mirror to be adjusted for different angles, making it ideal for checking one's appearance from head to toe. Cheval mirrors are often free-standing, with a decorative wooden or metal frame, and were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are commonly used in bedrooms or dressing areas, adding both function and style to the space.
