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.

A cheval mirror, also known as a cheval glass, is a full-length dressing mirror mounted on a dual-pivot wooden frame, allowing the glass to tilt forwards and backwards to reflect a standing figure.

Cheval mirrors from the 19th century were predominantly crafted from solid cabinet-grade timbers such as flame mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often featuring brass fittings, castors, and candle sconces.

Authentic Regency cheval mirrors feature classical proportions, fine cabinetwork, reeded or fluted uprights, dual-pivoting wooden adjusters, and period-correct hardware such as brass caps and castors.

Position the cheval mirror in a dressing room, master bedroom suite, or wide hallway to bounce natural light and create visual depth while contrasting historical timber against contemporary wall finishes.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year along the grain, and clean the mirror glass using a non-ammonia solution applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly.
