Hopefully it will provide you with that little more security and piece of mind that what you are bidding on is actually what you will be getting. 

PLEASE NOTE:  You have 10 days to view the item and ask as many questions as humanly possible. PLEASE ensure you have all the necessary vital information gathered before placing a SINGLE bid as once the auction ends you have entered your self into a legally binding contract to complete the transaction.  You are not coming to view/inspect the item or haggle any aspect of the sale, I have allowed enough time for that during the auction, so please ensure when bidding you are 100% committed in taking the item.

Description

          Dear valued customers!!  I need to advise you that this and every other item offered by Vlad’s Antiques is also available for purchase through my retail shop at a higher price and will sell at the first opportunity.   It is in your interest if you do like the item offered, to place that single bid, which will automatically secure the items sale on eBay to the highest bidder and avoid you missing out, so place that winning bid now!!

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

            To find top quality Georgian furniture in Australia is very rare and let alone to find it offered on eBay with this unheard price is even more remarkable, but it’s true so pay attention. 

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

On offer is this superb early Georgian flame mahogany toilet mirror in exceptional original condition with approx circa of 1790’s-1810.  This item was another acquisition from this amazing Victorian rural mansion where the previous owner paid $1,900.00 for the piece some two years ago together with its very closely matching chest offered in a separate auction.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The mirror structurally is of exceptional condition and requires no attention what so ever and is free from any serious damage, repairs or imperfections.  It contains three drawers in total, a large central drawer to the center, which is flanked to either side, by a pair of smaller drawers with solid brass handles.  The central drawer is hallmarked to the lock by which its easy to trace back the age and the origin of the piece, but without a key at this current stage but will cut one IF the lock is in working order at no cost to the buyer.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The entire piece is situated on four highly unusual but yet very fine turned legs that really gives this piece that truly superb look and this is then replicated to the very top of the mirror support.  And as for the mirror it’s the original one and for its age its holding up in really good shape, as expected some minimal ware is visible but its nothing for its age.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

All in all these piece retail for well over $1,800.00 but my reserve is well bellow that so don’t miss out on this superb piece at very good buying price as they don’t come around very often, all the best.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

And Yes, this item will receive FREE DELIVERY anywhere in Melbourne (within REASON check with me first) and Interstate buyers will receive free delivery to any depot of their choice ONLY within Melbourne area within reasons, so check with me.

P.N. – WE DO NOT DELIVER INTERSTATE, this is the buyer’s responsibility.

Vlad's Antiques was established in 2005 as a small hobby business, which has quickly grown into an obsession that has taken over my life to such extent, that in 2007 I quit my career in Marketing to pursue my passion for Antiques full time and never looked back.

      Our rapid expansion has seen my wife also come on board to try and help me cope with ever growing customer demands. We currently acquire our furniture locally (specializing in Australiana) and world wide, mostly from England and France, and we only sell genuine Antiques definitely NO cheap Asian reproductions, so when you buy from us know with confidence you are getting a genuine article.

       We also specialize in sourcing out particular items of interest or must have pieces of furniture. With vast resources at our fingertips and with little guidance from your end, we are sure we can find you that special piece of furniture you have desperately been looking for without the high-end price tag.

      So please give us a call or send us an email with the details of what you are looking for with any helpful visual or informative aid and will get back to you with an obligation free quote.




  For your convenience, feel free to contact me with any questions or queries directly via email through eBay, or by calling me on 0411 781 991 and ill be more than happy to assist you any way possible.
