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.
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.

A cheval mirror, also known as a dressing glass, is a tall freestanding full-length mirror mounted on a swivel frame supported by dual uprights and legs.

Georgian-style cheval mirrors were typically constructed from solid walnut or mahogany, often adorned with parcel gilt carved accents and silvered glass plates.

Georgian-style pieces feature hand-carved decorative motifs such as scallop shells or eagle crests, turned side supports, original brass fixtures, and natural patina on the timber.

Position the mirror near natural light sources in a bedroom or dressing suite to reflect light while providing an architectural focal point alongside neutral textiles.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to non-gilded wood surfaces, and clean the glass plate with a lightly damp cloth.
