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.

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

Produced during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, these mirrors feature oval giltwood or composition frames designed to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, often adorned with classical crestings such as floral swags or ribbon motifs.

Frames were typically constructed from pine or lime wood, shaped with plaster composition moulding, and finished with hand-applied gold leaf over a clay bole background, encasing silvered float glass.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit signs of age such as natural oxidisation or foxing on the silver backing, visible red clay bole beneath worn gold leaf, and original wooden backing boards.

Position the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace mantel, dining room sideboard, or hallway console table to reflect light and balance modern furnishings with historical architectural elements.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft brush without water or chemical cleaners that could lift the fragile gold leaf, and clean the glass plate with a lightly dampened cloth while keeping moisture clear of the frame edges.
