    I took in an art deco oak piece today and I don't know what to call it.
    From what I know a Cheval mirror tilts or swivels. The mirror on the dresser I took in, is fixed.

    The picture below is from the internet and is more French in style, mine is art deco. But like the one I took in, it has a cabinet on each side with marble top, and a full length mirror.

    As I post this picture I see the mirror on this dresser will tilt so it is a Cheval dresser.
    What would you call one with a fixed mirror?

    A cheaper version? Ideal for short people?

    Rather like a stray cat, in those words....but merciful in the current market.

    I'd just call it a vanity with a full length mirror.

    Agree, vanity. Just a different form sometimes called a dressing vanity.

    Thank you to book and brad. Dressing vanity sounds good. Thanks.

    Took in as in consignment. I don't have any money into it.
    It's a nice looking piece in good shape. Probably a hard sell as the owner wants a little too much. Doesn't hurt to try, can always come down later, and it looks good in the shop.

    I have no problem with things that look good in the shop. When placed so they can be seen from the street, helps to pull people into the store.

    The style of that furniture on the picture is neo-baroque.
