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.

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 is a dual-height, full-length dressing mirror mounted on a vertical frame supported by four splayed legs. The term derives from the French word for horse, referring to the four-legged support structure that allows the mirror glass to tilt freely.

Cheval mirrors were traditionally crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring figured wood veneers. The mechanical components typically consist of cast brass pivot handles and tension pins to secure the mirror frame at varying angles.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-worked joinery, hand-turned finials, and original brass fittings showing natural patination or oxidisation. The silvering on the glass mirror plate often exhibits mild foxing or degradation consistent with age.

Place a cheval mirror in a corner of a dressing room or bedroom adjacent to natural light sources to maximise light reflection. Its slender vertical footprint contrasts well with upholstered modern seating or contemporary minimalist cabinetry.

Dust the walnut frame using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain to preserve the timber finish. Clean the glass plate using a mild vinegar solution applied to a lint-free cloth, avoiding direct spray on the timber edges.
