Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Eighteenth-century pier mirrors are characterised by vertical proportions designed to fit the wall space between windows, often featuring architectural pediments and rich wood veneers.

These pieces typically utilise figured walnut veneers applied to softwood or hardwood substrates, complemented by carved wooden details and gesso work with leaf gilding.

Authentication relies on examining the construction joints, timber oxidation, backboards, and the characteristics of the mirror glass, which often exhibits hand-bevelling or slight imperfections.

This piece can be mounted above a console table or mantelpiece to introduce historical contrast, vertical emphasis, and reflected light into a modern space.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to protect the finish, and cleaning the glass with non-abrasive solutions while avoiding moisture on old wooden frames.
