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.

FAQs

Designed predominantly during the Georgian, Regency, and early Victorian periods, a mirror back console table features a reflective glass panel mounted below the tabletop. These tables were traditionally positioned between windows or in grand entrance halls to maximise natural light and create an illusion of greater spatial depth.

Tables from this period were crafted using high-grade dense hardwoods such as dark rosewood, flame mahogany, or walnut veneers. The structural elements feature hand-carved scroll supports and mercury glass mirror backings set above a solid plinth base.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-sawn secondary timbers, hand-carved architectural scrollwork, and original glass plates exhibiting subtle de-silvering or age-related foxing. Joinery techniques such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints further confirm historical construction.

Position the piece in a hallway, foyer, or narrow gallery space to serve as a focal point. Layer the top surface with ceramic vases or table lamps, allowing the lower mirrored backing to catch ambient light and enhance surrounding floor space.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Clean the mirror glass carefully using a damp cloth, avoiding excess moisture near the frame edges to preserve the backing.
