Mirrored furniture and mirrors themselves were captivating long before Alice made mirrors a thing of wonder for children everywhere. With their ability to show us our selves, and the world around us in reverse, few things are receive as much consistent attention as our mirrors. Before the advent of the first rudimentary mirrors however, the only person you actually couldn’t see was yourself. Stagnant water in pools found in nature, homes and public places acted presumably as the first consistent means of establishing one’s own appearance. Vanity however is a powerful force for innovation and according to vision researcher Dr. Jay Enoch, in a review published circa. 2006 in the journal Optometry and Vision Science, the first man-made mirrors were developed around 6,000 B.C. in what is now Turkey. These early efforts were made from polished volcanic glass and served their purpose as the next step in human reflective potential. Later, the advanced cultures of the ancient world, such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, tried their luck with hand-held mirrors made of the metal of choice in the Bronze Age: copper. These polished-metal mirrors were the superior form of reflection until the 3rd century A.D. when glass was first becoming popular. Successive generations and cultures added to the development of mirror-making until the 15th century Venetians. These artisans from the isle of Murano developed and mastered their own techniques and began combining their superior mirrors with decorative frames to create veritable works of reflective art. The Venetian mirror was an object of such quality that to protect the secrets of its creation, Venetian guildsmen were sworn to secrecy regarding the manufacturing process under penalty of death. As manufacturing techniques further developed and became more accessible, the mirror increasingly became an ubiquitous household item. In 17th century European mirrored furniture evolved from ornate boxes with small mirrors inside to the modern vanities of today. Commissioned originally as custom-made furniture for the well-to-do, these opulent pieces were developed by craftsmen and furniture-makers to meet the high expectations of European high-society figures. The Vandercruse Mechanical Table is an excellent example of mirrored furniture from this period and is an archetype for the pieces that would follow. Various compartments and sliding mechanisms in this piece allow the mirror to be put away or brought out in accordance with the user’s needs at the moment. It is believed that the Vandercruse table was developed for Madame de Pompadour, however the innovation it represented is found in many modern mass-produced pieces. The trends of Europe however did not lend themselves to the more austere and straightforward furniture trends of the day in America. The Chippendale style was the American standard until the 1800’s when the trend became a combination of the old and the new in the form of Elizabethan, Gothic, Colonial, and Renaissance revival pieces. It was not until the advent of motion pictures in the early 1900’s however, that mirrored furniture, such as vanities, became synonymous with sophistication and opulence. So many grand scenes in the days of Early Hollywood found a tragic heroine or villainous seductress sitting in front of a piece of mirrored furniture exploring herself or explaining her methods while her glamour was reflected in the glass and seen by the world. Mirrors became an icon of dramatic scenes where stars would deliver heart-felt lines while staring into their own eyes or away from the eyes of those they were devastated by or were in the process of devastating. Truly, the 1920’s and 30’s trend of showing the lives of the affluent in luxury penthouses would not have been complete without a piece of mirrored furniture for the star to use to bask in her own beauty. This trend didn’t end with old Hollywood however. Many modern iconic scenes of cinema take place before a piece of furniture with a reflective surface. From Taxi Driver’s oft-repeated line inquiring who his reflection is speaking to, to Raging Bull’s final scene, to Boogie Night’s final lewd imitation of that Raging Bull scene, to Steve Martin seeing himself as Lilly Tomlin in All of Me, mirrored furniture is an undeniable part of film history. Not just film history though, throughout human history we’ve always had an interest in looking our best and utilizing the finest tools available to make sure that is the case. From obsidian, to Venetians, to aristocrats, to movie stars, mirrors and mirrored furniture have been around to help us achieve that and they show no sign of losing popularity.

The Science of Dealing with Stains on Upholstered FurnitureWe’ve all been there before!
Sunday, rainy weather, a cup of hot coffee to start the day. You sit on your suede sofa, eagerly taking your first sip. A bit too eagerly, in fact, because the contents of your mug are now all over the furniture. Congratulations, you’ve made a mess – now what? Whether the furniture that took the hit was passed down from generations or is brand new, there are still a couple of steps you can take to (hopefully) erase the stains from existence. Let’s start with the very first thing you need to do to refresh the fabric in the event of an “Uh-oh” situation.
Blot the Stain As Soon As (Humanly) Possible!This method, of course, will yield the best results if the stain you’re dealing with is still fresh. Just take a piece of dry white cloth and gently soak in the stain (no scrubbing, please) until no more liquid is being absorbed. Speed here is key – the more you prolong this procedure, the more time your stain will have to cover extra ground. And you definitely don’t want that to happen. A neat stain-blotting tool also comes in the form of baby wipes (if you don’t have a kid, your local pharmacy has you fully covered). When used carefully, they are able to absorb spills and stains almost by sorcery, and are dry and soft enough to achieve this without damaging your fabric.
Adhere to the Holy Code of Cleaning.No, this has (fortunately) nothing to do with the Spanish Inquisition. The cleaning code is a small label that is often located at an inconspicuous spot of your furniture, usually on its side or under the seat cushions. A quick look at it will tell you the type of fabric that your upholstery sports, as well as its colours and, more importantly – how it should be treated in cases like these. For instance, some fabrics are okay to clean with water, while others will require special powders. Here is a quick reference guide in case you’re still clueless on how to clean your upholstery:
Check out these two pages for more details ( here ) & ( here ) Pick Up Your Trusty Vacuum Cleaner!Before you ask – no, the regular attachment will not cut it. If you’re going to clean your delicate upholstery, make sure to use a soft brush attachment to avoid nasty scratches. Even if the stain is too tough to be cleaned up with just the vacuum cleaner, doing so will help remove some of the surface dust and dirt and give the other products a better chance of removing the spillage. If you’re dealing with old stains, vacuuming them will most likely cause their colours to fade. Loosen Up the Stain By Letting Off Some Steam.Not literally, of course – if anything, lounging on your couch will only make matters worse. What you can do, however, is to fetch your electric iron and switch it on the “steam” setting. This is a great way to loosen up small individual stains. If the blemish is sizeable, though, it’s a better idea to either buy or book professional upholstery cleaning to deal with the sticky situation.
Give Stains the Water Treatment (If Possible)*Disclaimer: If the simple tricks listed so far did not make your situation any better, perhaps you should consider giving the water-dish soap strategy a go. Simply take a bit of dish soap and dilute it in warm water. Next, pour some of that mixture on a dry sponge and gently blot the spots. Finally, have another go at it using just water to remove any leftover soap, then press a clean cloth or a paper towel against the stained area to absorb the remaining moisture. That’s all there is to it.
Scour Your Kitchen with a Bottle of Vodka/Vinegar?If water is out of the question, but the cleaning code states that you can use liquid products, do yourself a favour and discover the magical properties of vodka or vinegar. The process, as with most cleaning methods here, is quite simple. You grab a bottle of your chosen substance, pour some on a clean cloth and blot the stains, leave your upholstery to dry out naturally, and drink the rest (preferably the vodka) in celebration of the stain’s defeat. If you’re still sober, make sure to also open all windows to get rid of the unpleasant smell, especially if you’re expecting visitors.
Shop for Heavy Duty Detergents (Only As a Last Resort)Choose your cleaning arsenal wiselyWhat product you’ll end up getting will mostly depend on the fabric, from which your furniture is made of, as well as on the type of stain you’re facing. However, choosing the right one can be a bit tricky since there are so many types of fabrics out there: wool, linen, silk, or acrylic instantly come to mind. Some types of furniture even consist of several types of fabric mashed together! This is why having a cleaning tag can be really beneficial. If yours is missing for some reason (you bought second hand furniture or its presence simply annoyed you), then we suggest turning to professional upholstery cleaners who will have the knowledge and the proper equipment to identify your fabric. For instance, just because you know that what you’ve spilled is red wine doesn’t mean that your upholstery will be perfectly fine putting up with a harsh wine detergent. Test before you clean the restEven if you had the pleasure of reading your cleaning label and purchasing just the right product for your protein, oil, or grease stain, don’t be so quick to use the thing just yet. A good rule of thumb is to test the detergent on a remote, nobody-will-ever-think-of-checking-there spot to ensure that it will not mess with your upholstery’s natural colouration. This goes double if you’ve been using your furniture for a while – it’s very easy to end up with blindingly bright spots. Defeat the stain with persistenceIs the blemish still standing despite all your valiant efforts? This may sound a bit pointless, but giving your furniture another rigorous clean after it has dried can do wonders. A great example is cleaning ketchup stains. Just try to keep your calm while doing so – forceful scrubbing will only result in a professionally ruined piece of furniture. Treat the stains as many times as needed and you’ll take them down eventually.

To avoid this you can use humidifiers or try to maintain a constant temperature of the room. Another dangerous factor is the sun exposure. Sun exposure can constantly alter the color of the finish or protective surface of the furniture pieces. To avoid this place your furniture away from the UV and sunlight. Insect infestation is another factor that can damage to your furniture. To overcome these problems get help from a professional exterminator.

• Storage Space- a dressing table should have drawers for storing making up items and small bottles. While checking the storage space, ensure that it is enough to fit all your items. The storage compartments can be attached as lockable drawers under the mirror. You have the freedom to choose the type of storage you need depending on your needs and personal taste. The number of drawers can range from three to eight depending on your needs. • Mirror- a mirror is an important part of beautifying yourself and hence, it is necessary that you have one on your dressing table. When buying a dressing table, you can choose to buy one with an attached mirror or have a separate one. However, the attached one is better as it cannot be easily broken since it is fixed. • Small stool/chair- unless you like standing, you should choose a dressing table that is accompanied by a chair to sit on when applying make-up. As you know, women love spending a lot of time in front of the mirror in which case the chair comes in handy. • Matches other features in the room- in other cases, you can buy a dressing table to add character in your room.
