Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. 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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

A 19th-century silvered mirror typically features a wooden or gesso frame decorated with silver leafing and classic mouldings such as beaded or gadrooned borders. The reflective glass often retains silver nitrate or mercury backing, resulting in distinct tonal depth and subtle oxidisation.

Frames from this period were crafted from carved wood, often layered with gesso, and coated in thin sheets of silver leaf. The glass plates were produced using early industrial floating techniques and coated with silvering compounds on the reverse.

Authentic pieces feature dark spots or cloudiness known as foxing within the glass plate, caused by the gradual oxidisation of the metallic backing over time. Additionally, hand-carved wood joinery, timber backboards, and wear along the silver leaf gilding indicate genuine historical age.

Positioning an oval mirror above a modern console table or mantelpiece creates visual contrast between classic profiles and clean contemporary lines. The muted tone of aged silver pairs effectively with neutral paint palettes and natural timber accents.

Clean the glass plate using a dry microfibre cloth or a slightly dampened cloth with distilled water, avoiding liquid contact with the frame edge. Preserve the silvered frame by dusting softly with a soft brush and avoiding chemical polishes that strip gilding.
