This mirror stands alone. We've been searching high and low for a free-standing mirror for a client. Finally landed on this: the Triptych Vanity Mirror by Baker Furniture.
Triptych Vanity Mirror by Baker Furniture
It's perfect for areas where you need a mirror but have no wall to hang it on. In our case, it's at a bathroom sink that has a large window in the spot a mirror would usually hang. This tri-folding mirror is lovely. Unfortunately, the price tag is high: $5,250. We've found there are so few mirrors out there that do this job - maybe that's why they have it priced so high.

What the crap!? It's lovely but why or why would that cost $5k? Is it made of sterling silver or something?

Holy hell! For 5 Grand, that mirror better make me look like Cate Blanchett! That's almost 1700 bucks per angle to admire my own crow's feet. What a bargain.

You could have a custom made mirror for under afew hundred bucks!!! As a matter of fact if your handy all you need is 3 pieces of MDF or wood a few hinges and recycled old mirror cut to size and you've got it.

There is no way that anyone should pay that much for this mirror! ANY mirror for that matter. I am all for deisgn, but when price is that excessive, the value of its looks are dimished to nothing. It's makes the enitire product a full on joke.
I am with Snappaloosa. HOLY HELL!

Actually, it looks a little like a fixture from a old skool kmart or something.

Guys I agree with you, but this mirror is a piece of luxury - it is not for people like us that work for a living. It is for someone that doesn't work, husband makes money by the bucket in Wall Street and wants the best things in life. This mirror is made of pewter and shagreen skin - which is extremely expensive in it's own. I am sure in person it's fabulous, just not something one of us can afford. But rest assure there are a lot of high society people that $5000 is what you'd spend for a cheap pair of shoes.... Everything is relative in life guys. But I agree with the concept that it doesn't make sense to be in a blog were everything is about small spaces and in budget...

If you didn't mind it being kind of tall, as in -- tall enough to get your whole body in -- this isn't bad:

actually - the mirror retails for $3,675.00 in any Baker Store. the $5,250.00 is a list price which no one charges. Still a pretty chump of change...but you get what you pay for!

The base and the back panels of this piece are all hand hammered pewter and the base is inlaid with shagreen the materials and the labor costs for this are what make it so expensive. Also, it's not manufactured in China or somewhere where they don't have to pay a decent rate for labor that adds to the final cost of the piece.
