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. 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.

Secure Transit

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.

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.

This Victorian dressing table dates from 1860, made from mahogany with brass and glass components in a warm brown tone. The piece consists of a tilting swivel mirror set within an arched frame and supported by carved scrolls, sitting above a raised tier of three small shaped drawers fitted with original turned wooden knobs. The lower section incorporates a serpentine front with a moulded edge above a shaped frieze containing a central drawer, supported at the front by carved cabriole legs with prominent leaf carving on scrolled knees, resting on a shaped undertier with rounded feet. Measuring 162 cm high, 131 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, this dressing table provides practical surface space and storage. Position this dressing table in a bedroom or dressing room against a wall to serve as a functional vanity surface and mirror combination. The compact jewellery drawers keep small accessories organised, while the lower surface accommodates everyday grooming items. The substantial timber construction and classic Victorian silhouette complement traditional and period bedroom schemes, adding rich wood tones and historic character to the interior.

FAQs

Popularised during the 19th century, Victorian dressing tables feature integrated swing mirrors, tiered jewellery drawers, and hand-carved mahogany supports often influenced by Rococo Revival styling.

These pieces were crafted predominantly from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, turned handles, and heavy silvered mirror glass.

Authentic examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-carved scrollwork, original castors, and natural hand-rubbed patination along the timber grain.

Balance the dark mahogany tones by placing the piece against neutral walls and pairing it with minimalist contemporary lighting and simple upholstered seating.

Dust regularly with a dry cotton cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
