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

Originating in the nineteenth century, a mirror back sideboard served as a central storage and serving piece for formal dining rooms and parlours, designed to store tableware whilst reflecting ambient light around the room.

These cabinets were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or walnut, embellished with delicate satinwood or boxwood marquetry inlays and set with bevelled mirror glass panels.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass drawer pulls, hand-carved decorative finials, and solid timber backboards rather than modern composite materials.

Positioned in a grand hallway or formal dining space, it grounds the room as a statement piece; balance the detailed woodwork by displaying understated ceramic vessels or modern artwork above the surrounding walls.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement or fading, cleaning surfaces gently with a soft cloth and applying a traditional beeswax polish periodically.
