This rare small piece of furniture is designed to sit on a chest of drawers or lowboy. It has an adjustable mirror, a lower storage drawer and above a bureau fitment which folds down to form a leather inlaid writing surface also revealing a very nicely fitted interior with three small drawers and pigeon holes for storing papers and notes.

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed.

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 toilet mirror, also known as a dressing table mirror, features a swivelling glass frame supported above a base containing drawers or a sloping bureau lid. Originating in the eighteenth century and widely produced through the nineteenth century, these tabletop pieces provided both a reflective surface for grooming and compact storage for small items.

Mid-nineteenth-century examples were constructed with solid timber frameworks veneered in figured or burr walnut to highlight complex grain patterns. Hand-cut dovetail joinery, brass swivelling brackets, wooden drawer pulls, and silvered mirrored glass were standard manufacturing components of the era.

Authentic pieces from the Victorian era display period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary timber cores like pine or oak behind thin walnut veneers, and natural wear around metal fittings. Original mirror plates often exhibit subtle foxing or hand-bevelled edges consistent with nineteenth-century silvering processes.

Positioning a wooden swing mirror atop a modern chest of drawers or a contemporary console table creates a balanced contrast between historical woodwork and clean modern lines. It functions as a functional vanity accent on bedroom dressing tables or hallway surfaces.

Preserve the timber surface by dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a wax polish annually along the wood grain. Avoid using ammonia-based glass cleaners near the walnut frame to prevent chemical damage, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer movement.
