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 toilet mirror, historically referred to as a dressing glass, is a tabletop swing mirror designed to sit atop a chest of drawers or dressing table. Popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these pieces provided adjustable angles for personal grooming.

Victorian dressing table mirrors were predominantly crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, oak, and rosewood. The bases frequently incorporated small drawers built with hand-cut dovetail joints, wooden or turned bone knobs, and silvered glass plates.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-turned upright supports, hand-cut dovetails on base drawers, and original silvered mirror glass exhibiting subtle oxidisation or foxing. Stamped maker signatures or metal trade labels from established makers are often found on the underside or inside the drawer casing.

Position the mirror atop a modern hallway console table, a chest of drawers, or a wide window ledge to add height and warmth. The rich timber patina and foxed glass create an engaging visual counterpoint when set against clean, neutral backdrop walls.

Dust the timber framework regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax periodically along the grain. Clean the mirror plate lightly with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that could penetrate behind the frame and damage the silvering.
