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.

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 frequently feature Louis XVI revival elements, including symmetrical rectangular frames, ribbon-tied cresting, floral swags, and classical motifs such as quivers or torches.

Frames were generally constructed from timber with molded composition (compo) details applied to the surface, which were subsequently gilded using gold leaf or metallic metal leaf.

Authentic pieces display historical construction marks on the reverse backboards, subtle age-related foxing to the silvered mirror glass, and natural wear or oxidisation to the gilded finish.

Mount the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or modern sideboard to create a prominent focal point, balancing its elaborate detailing against quiet, contemporary background walls.

Dust the frame gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, taking care to avoid liquid cleaners or water which can dissolve composition ornament and damage gold leafing.
