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.

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

Invented in Paris in 1826 by Francois Brot, the Miroir Brot introduced spotlighting and magnification to personal grooming mirrors. These illuminated tabletop and wall-mounted mirrors became standard fixtures in hotels and residences throughout the twentieth century.

Vintage shaving mirrors typically feature solid brass or steel frames plated in nickel or chrome. The mirror glass often includes magnified sections, supported by weighted bases, swivel joints, and woven electrical flex cords for illuminated models.

Authentic pieces usually display maker stamps or engraved branding on the base or rim, heavy cast metal bases rather than lightweight modern alloys, and period-correct wiring mechanisms or braided flex.

Position the mirror on a marble bathroom vanity countertop or a timber dressing table to contrast metallic textures. Pairing chrome finishes with neutral stone or dark wood creates a balanced aesthetic.

Clean chrome surfaces using a damp microfibre cloth followed by dry buffing to prevent water spotting and oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical abrasive cleaners on aged glass, especially near silvered edges.
