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.

A cheval mirror, named after the French word for horse due to its four-legged frame structure, emerged in the late eighteenth century as a full-length, freestanding mirror designed for dressing rooms and bedrooms.

Cheval mirrors were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, paired with heavy silvered glass plates and brass swivel adjustment mechanisms.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber oxidisation on the rear backboards, and mercury or early silvering showing slight foxing on the glass.

Positioning a full-length timber cheval mirror opposite a light source maximises natural illumination and creates an impression of depth within contemporary dressing areas or hallways.

Apply natural beeswax sparingly to the carved wooden framework using a soft cloth, while cleaning the glass plate with a non-ammoniated solution to avoid damage to historical silvering.
