Delivery & Collection

Most mainland UK locations are covered by our standard £65 furniture delivery service, with a reduced local delivery rate of £30 available within 15 miles of Bourne End SL8.

Some remote or harder-to-reach areas may require a different delivery charge, so please check our Delivery Information page before ordering or contact us if unsure.


Furniture deliveries are carried out by one-man couriers, so assistance will usually be required to help unload the item at delivery. Delivery is generally to the door, although some drivers may assist further at their own discretion.


We aim to deliver most furniture items within 10 working days, depending on location and courier routes.


Collection is also welcome from our Bourne End showroom:

The Furniture Recycling Shop
1a Station Road
Bourne End
Buckinghamshire

Collections are available during shop opening hours only, which can be found in the footer at the bottom of this page. We always appreciate advance notice prior to collection so we can ensure your item is prepared and ready at the front of the shop.


Please contact us on 01628 810249 or furniture_@live.co.uk regarding collection arrangements.

Condition & Authenticity

We aim to describe the condition of every item as honestly and accurately as possible, with any notable wear, repairs, damage or imperfections clearly shown in both the description and photographs.


Established since 2005, we have built a strong knowledge of interiors, antiques and period furniture, allowing us to confidently identify and catalogue our pieces.


If you would like a more detailed condition report, additional photographs or a walkaround video via WhatsApp or SMS, we are always happy to help.


Please contact us at furniture_@live.co.uk with any enquiries.

A More Sustainable Choice

Choosing antique and reclaimed furniture is one of the most sustainable ways to furnish a home.


Older furniture was often built using solid timber and traditional craftsmanship designed to last for generations, rather than a few years.


By giving these pieces a new home, you help reduce demand for mass-produced furniture while keeping beautiful, characterful items in circulation for years to come.

Description

This is a large, ornate Victorian overmantle mirror with a wealth of Neoclassical decorative details. The frame is adorned with a central torch-and-quiver motif flanked by laurel swags, while the side pillars feature Corinthian-style capitals and scrolling acanthus leaf brackets at the base.

The mirror is currently finished in a layered, distressed white paint, giving it a true "shabby chic" look. It’s an ideal piece for a restoration project or for someone who loves the authentic, weathered antique aesthetic. Its wide proportions make it a great focal point for a living room, hallway, or even a large bathroom.


Condition

This item is in distressed antique condition and is being sold as a project piece:

  • The Frame: A section of the top decorative moulding is missing on the left-hand side (see detail photos).

  • Surface: The paint is heavily chipped, cracked, and weathered throughout. There are marks and scratches as expected with an item of this age.

  • Glass: The mirror glass remains in place but shows some light "foxing" (age spots) and surface dust, which adds to its vintage character.

  • Backing: The mirror appears structurally sound but will require careful mounting due to its weight and age.


Dimensions

  • Height: 80 cm

  • Width: 113 cm
