I don't think there's really an answer to this, Vintage, except:
Forever, or virtually so. Women of the upper and middle classes have
been using mirrors in boudoirs since Biblical times. Boudoir or
dressing room dressers with either handheld or large mounted mirrors
are something of a common denominator in history, and are far more out
of fashion now (in the last, say 20-odd years) than they ever have
been before.

I know this isn't very helpful, but it's honest.
