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.
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.

Chippendale mirrors from the 18th century are typically distinguished by fretwork or scroll-cut mahogany frames, often featuring parcel-gilded detailing such as an inner slip or a central motif like a cresting phoenix.

These mirrors were primarily constructed using solid or veneered mahogany frames, featuring hand-carved gilded timber accents and mercury-amalgam glass plates held within a carved moulding.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-sawn backboards, original mercury glass with natural foxing, and hand-carved timber detailing rather than modern cast resin or machine-cut plywood.

A Georgian mahogany mirror can be positioned above a mantlepiece or sideboard to create a central focal point, pairing traditional dark timber tones with neutral wall colours.

Dust the mahogany frame with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, while using a lightly dampened cloth without harsh chemicals to clean the mirror glass.
