Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

FAQs

Cheval mirrors gained immense popularity during the 19th century as full-length dressing glasses became essential for Victorian bedrooms, allowing individuals to view their entire outfit.

Authentic period pieces were typically constructed from solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-turned components, mortise and tenon joints, and bevelled glass plates secured within a pivoting frame.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber ageing, hand-cut screws, original mirror glass imperfections or silvering oxidisation, and traditional hand-turned joinery rather than modern mechanical fastenings.

Positioning a period mirror in a modern bedroom or hallway introduces architectural character and natural light, contrasting effectively with minimalist backgrounds.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply occasional natural beeswax polish to nourish the wood, whilst cleaning the glass with a mild, ammonia-free solution applied to a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
