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

Overmantel mirrors were designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving to reflect light from candles or oil lamps and visually expand living reception rooms.

Victorian frames were typically constructed from pine or lime wood carved framework, coated in layered gesso plaster to mould detailed scrollwork, and finished with gilding or distemper paint surrounding silvered glass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle craquelure or fine cracking within the gesso, hand-carved wood backing boards, minor oxidisation spots on the mirror plate, and natural wear patterns along high points of relief.

An architectural overmantel mirror acts as a focal point above a chimney breast, balancing modern neutral interiors with classic texture while drawing the eye upward in high-ceilinged spaces.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent disturbing delicate gesso surfaces, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh solvents on the frame and applying glass cleaner carefully via a microfiber cloth.
