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 Regency cheval mirror is a full-length, freestanding dressing glass mounted within a heavy timber frame that allows the mirror to pivot forward and backward, popularised during the early nineteenth century in England.

These mirrors were predominantly crafted from polished hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often accented with brass finials, gilt mounts, turned stretchers, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces display classical Regency proportions, hand-carved or fluted side columns, hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware, and natural age-related patination or mercury silvering foxing on the glass plate.

Position the mirror as a focal point in a master bedroom, dressing room, or spacious hallway where its rich timber tones create visual depth alongside contemporary understated furnishings.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to preserve the wood finish, and clean the mirror glass with a mild solvent applied directly to the cloth rather than the frame.
