A mirror that tilts sounds like a small idea until you sit at one that does not. Fixed glass forces the person to move - to lean back, to crouch, to sit forward on the edge of the stool. The pivot fixes that with two pins and a pair of supports, and it has been quietly winning the argument on dressing tables since the eighteenth century.
The engineering interest is in the supports, not the mirror. Each one is a carved scroll cut from a single piece of solid teak, and it has to do three things at once: hold the pivot pin at exactly the same height as its twin, stay rigid enough that the glass holds whatever angle you set it to, and look light enough that it does not dominate the table beneath.
Our carvers cut the pair together, marking the pivot point before any shaping begins so the axis is fixed and the decoration works around it. The leaf forms curling outward at the base widen the footprint where the load is, which is what keeps the mirror steady without a thick, blocky post. It is decoration doing structural work - the detail that most rewards close inspection on this piece.
