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.

FAQs

A toilet mirror, or swing dressing mirror, is a tabletop mirror designed with a swivelling frame mounted between upright supports. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces were intended to sit atop a dressing table or chest of drawers to assist with daily grooming.

Mid-19th-century dressing mirrors were primarily crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often featuring flame veneers. Structural components featured brass pivot hardware, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and mercury-silvered glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the base drawer, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and slight foxing or desilvering on the original glass plate. The back panels are typically made of secondary softwoods with hand-planed finishes.

Place the mirror on a contemporary sideboard, console, or dressing table to introduce architectural structure and warm timber tones. Pairing dark mahogany against neutral walls or modern minimalist furniture creates balanced visual contrast.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Clean the mirror glass using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a microfibre cloth, ensuring liquid does not seep into the timber frame.
