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.

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

Pier mirrors were tall, narrow mirrors designed during the Georgian period to occupy the wall space between windows to reflect natural light into the interior.

The underlying frames were carved from softwood, coated with multiple coats of gesso plaster, and finished with gold leaf applied via water gilding or oil gilding.

Genuine period examples often feature hand-carved wood structure beneath gesso layers, red or yellow bole clay under thin worn gilding, and multi-plate mercury glass panels with characteristic foxing.

Position the mirror on a narrow accent wall, above a hallway console table, or between two tall windows to enhance architectural height and natural illumination.

Dust gently using a dry feather duster or soft microfibre cloth, keeping water, liquid cleaners, and solvent polishes away from the gilding as moisture dissolves gesso and lifts gold leaf.
