Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mirrors from this period often incorporate symbolic motifs such as serpents, shells, and foliage, reflecting influence from the Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts movements. The carved frame adds three-dimensional texture and architectural interest to wall decor.

These mirror frames were typically sculpted from dense hardwoods such as oak or walnut, finished with dark stains or waxes, and fitted with mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit tool marks from carving, natural wood aging on the reverse, traditional corner joints, and period glass showing minor oxidisation.

A dark carved mirror creates a dramatic focal point when hung against neutral walls, placed above a console table, or paired with simple modern furnishings to contrast textures.

Dust the intricate carved details regularly with a soft bristle brush, clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth, and protect the timber with occasional applications of natural beeswax.
