Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Emerging in late 17th-century England, cushion mirrors feature a convex, pillow-like timber frame faced with rich veneers such as figured walnut, olivewood, or marquetry.

Frames were constructed from pine or oak backings layered with figured timber veneers, surrounding hand-blown glass plates that often displayed shallow bevels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut jointing, original deal backboards, hand-cut veneer sections, and slight natural surface oxidation or mercurial mirror plate degradation.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantelpiece to create a balanced focal point that contrasts warm wood grains against neutral walls.

Dust the timber frame using a dry microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the veneer, and avoid spraying glass cleaner directly onto the mirror plate.
