Background Note
Shaving stands, often called shaving horses or cheval mirrors, gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries as personal grooming became more elaborate. These specialized pieces of furniture provided a convenient height for men to shave, often incorporating mirrors, small drawers, or compartments for brushes, razors, and soaps. Their designs ranged from simple utilitarian models to highly ornate pieces reflecting the prevailing furniture styles of their era, such as Victorian or Rococo Revival.
