This design for a Cheval glass by Robert William Hume, dating from 1835 to 1900, showcases the elegant Rococo revival style popular in the mid-19th century. The mirror is framed by a lavishly ornamented stand with intricate detailing, and the stand features a pair of graceful legs. The design is executed in watercolor and pencil, creating a delicate and refined aesthetic. The Cheval glass, a type of freestanding mirror, was a popular piece of furniture during the Victorian era and often found in drawing rooms and boudoirs.
