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.
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.
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.

A Victorian overmantel mirror is a large architectural wall mirror designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, typically characterized by an arched or rectangular frame crafted during the 19th century.

These mirrors were constructed using pine or hardwood mouldings layered with gesso, coated in silver leaf or silvered finish, and fitted with glass backed by silver nitrate or mercury.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display period wooden backboards, natural oxidisation or foxing to the glass plate, and subtle distress on hand-applied leaf finish rather than modern uniform spray coatings.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or dining room sideboard enhances light distribution, expands visual space, and provides a structured historic contrast to clean-lined contemporary furnishings.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoid applying liquid cleaner directly near the frame mouldings, and maintain low humidity to prevent degradation of the mirror backing.
