Price History
Description
Taking its name from London’s iconic Blythe House, home to the Heal’s archive at the V&A, the beautifully crafted Blythe Vanity Mirror captures the functional elegance of classic Arts and Crafts furniture through modern execution. Designed in-house and exclusive to Heal’s, this round mirror is made from solid oak and oak veneer with a pivot for the mirror face to be angled to find the perfect position.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Blythe vanity mirror for its simple yet effective design, making it a versatile piece for both modern and traditional interiors. Its clean, wooden frame adds warmth and a Scandinavian feel, perfect for minimalist or rustic setups. It works well placed on a dressing table or in a bathroom, with the tilt feature allowing for practical adjustment. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with natural textures like linen or woven baskets to enhance a calm, organised vibe. Avoid overcrowding the space to keep the mirror’s understated elegance front and centre-less is often more with this piece.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
