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

A serpentine dressing table mirror, historically referred to as a toilet mirror or swing glass, is a tabletop mirror featuring a undulating, wave-like convex and concave fronted base fitted with small drawers for storing grooming items.

Nineteenth-century examples were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers over a pine frame, fitted with brass swivel handles, small brass drawer knobs, and silvered mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the base drawers, natural oxidisation or foxing to the silvering on the mirror plate, and slight irregularities in the hand-carved wooden uprights.

Place the unit atop a modern chest of drawers, bedroom console, or hallway sideboard to serve as a functional vanity mirror while introducing historic wood tones to the room scheme.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Clean the glass plate using a damp cloth, avoiding harsh alcohol solvents near the wooden frame.
