The Amish House Mission Cheval

The open-top design refers to the frame construction where the top rail is absent, allowing for a cleaner, more minimalist look that emphasizes the vertical lines of the mirror. This design choice highlights the solid wood frame while providing an unobstructed view.

The mirror is designed with a weighted, balanced base specifically for freestanding use. It remains stable on both hard surfaces like hardwood or tile and low-pile area rugs, though we recommend placing it on a level surface to ensure the best balance.

Each wood species has a unique grain pattern and color tone that interacts differently with stains. For example, Quartersawn White Oak features a distinct 'fleck' pattern typical of Mission style, while Cherry will darken and develop a rich patina over time.

The mirror typically arrives partially assembled to ensure structural integrity during transit. You will likely need to attach the mirror frame to the base supports using the provided hardware, which is a straightforward process.

To preserve the finish, dust the wood frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up and dull the natural luster of the wood over time.
