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

A toilet mirror, also known as a toilet glass, is a tabletop swing mirror developed during the early 18th century for dressing tables, frequently set upon a miniature bureau base containing tiny drawers for jewellery and cosmetics.

Japanned pieces typically feature softwoods or fruitwoods coated in layered spirit-varnish or resin lacquer, hand-decorated with gilding and pigments to replicate East Asian lacquerware techniques.

Authentic period examples exhibit characteristic arched or double-domed mirror frames, hand-bevelled glass plates, pine or oak drawer linings with hand-cut dovetails, and subtle crazing across the gilded lacquer surface.

Position the mirror atop a dark wood sideboard, console table, or vanity, allowing the detailed Chinoiserie decoration to act as a focal point against neutral walls.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or chemical polishes, and place the object away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking or lifting of the lacquer layer.
