Found once.
Sold once.
Antique and vintage French mirrors, bought at brocante and château sales across France. Each piece is catalogued in full — period, dimensions, condition, faults and all — then crated by hand and sent anywhere in the world.
Every mirror in the room
What we do about the hard parts
Crated, not boxed
Every mirror travels in a purpose-built timber crate with a foam-lined glass face. Plate breakage is covered in full for 30 days from delivery.
Faults listed first
Foxing, losses to gesso, later regilding, replaced plates — all named in the condition report. Additional photographs of any fault on request.
Landed price, no surprise bill
Import duty and local tax are calculated at checkout and paid by us. Antiques over 100 years old enter most countries at a reduced rate — you see it in the total.
14 days, any reason
Send it back within 14 days of delivery for a full refund of the piece. We arrange collection and the return crate.
