What is this called?
Im sure this is an obvious question to all the brownstoners but I can not remember for the life of me what something is called. Im referring to the entranceway/hallway mirror with bench thingy that sometimes has coat hooks on it.

I believe it's called a hall tree mirror. You can do a search on ebay and find some antiques. They tend to be quiet expensive.

No mystery here. They are usually called hallstands. Circa on Atlantic Ave usually stocks a couple as does In Days of Old and the Antique Room. But a nice one can cost $3,000 and upwards.

In Chicago we call it a pier mirror.
