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 Victorian toilet mirror, also known as a dressing table mirror, is a free-standing tabletop mirror mounted on vertical supports that allow the glass frame to tilt. These pieces were standard bedroom accessories throughout the nineteenth century for grooming and dressing.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often incorporating rich veneers. The reflective panes were constructed using silvered glass, secured with brass swivel fittings and pins.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved details, natural foxing or slight desilverening on the original glass plate, and period joinery such as dovetail joints on the plinth base. Brass friction knobs or side pins show signs of age and functional wear.

Place the mirror atop a contemporary bedroom chest of drawers, a hallway console table, or a bathroom vanity to introduce period character. Contrast the rich mahogany timber against neutral backdrop tones or painted surfaces.

Dust the woodwork regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber finish. Clean the glass pane with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays that could seep into the frame joint or damage original mirror backing.
