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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
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.
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.

French Empire style design features classical Greco-Roman architectural influence, characterised by pediment tops, turned columns, symmetrical proportions, and cast gilt bronze (ormolu) decorative mounts.

Cheval mirrors from this era were primarily constructed using high-quality mahogany veneers over solid timber frameworks, complemented by mercury-silvered mirror glass and chased ormolu hardware.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased gilding on brass or bronze fittings, historical timber oxidation on unpolished undersides, and traditional hand-cut swivel mechanisms.

Position the full-length mirror as an architectural focal point in a master bedroom or dressing area to capture light and enhance spatial depth alongside contemporary or traditional furnishings.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply pure beeswax polish occasionally. Clean mirror glass carefully using specialized glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth, avoiding contact with gilded metal mounts to prevent tarnish.
