Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

This adjustable nickel-plated illuminated shaving or makeup mirror originates from the 1930 Art Deco period. The piece has a polished silver-coloured metallic finish across its nickel plating, brass, and glass construction. Visible details include a circular frame with a swivel mechanism, a central magnifying lens, turned mouldings on the central stem, a weighted circular base, and a fabric-covered braided electrical flex cord emerging from the back. The mirror stands 44.4 cm high and 9.5 cm wide. Today, this vanity mirror functions effectively on a bathroom counter or dressing table, offering adjustable height and angle positioning for close grooming tasks. Its clean geometric lines and metallic surface bring functional period utility to contemporary dressing spaces.

FAQs

Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, whilst gently dusting the nickel plating with a soft dry cloth to prevent moisture build-up.

A freestanding nickel vanity mirror can be placed on a bedroom dressing table, a bathroom counter, or an entryway console to add practical task lighting and metallic texture.

Authentic examples often feature stamped manufacturer marks, period-accurate braided flex wiring, heavy cast weighted bases, and mechanical swivel joints.

These items are commonly constructed from nickel-plated or chrome-plated brass, glass, and fitted with internal bulb sockets alongside period flex wiring.

An illuminated vanity mirror is a tabletop or wall-mounted mirror featuring integrated lighting to assist with personal grooming, popularised during the early-to-mid 20th century.
