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.

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

Swedish Neoclassical and Gustavian mirrors from the late 18th and early 19th centuries draw heavy inspiration from French Louis XVI and Empire designs, featuring gilded wood accents, mahogany veneers, classical urn finials, and elaborate scrollwork.

These mirrors were constructed using softwood or mahogany frames embellished with carved wood or gesso ornamentation, water-gilded gold leaf, and mercury-backed glass mirror plates.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery on the backboard, natural wear on the gilding revealing the underlying red or grey clay bole, and light oxidation or foxing on the glass plate.

Position the mirror above a console table, fireplace mantle, or hallway sideboard to maximise light reflection and establish a structured focal point within contemporary or period interiors.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft dry brush, avoiding water, household polish, or damp cloths that can compromise delicate gesso or dissolve the original gold leaf layer.
