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.

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

A Victorian overmantel mirror is designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece. Typically featuring a flat base and a soft arched top, these mirrors were crafted to fit architectural chimney breasts and reflect light throughout reception rooms.

These mirrors were constructed using solid timber foundations overlaid with hardwood veneers such as rosewood or mahogany. Moulded gesso and hand-applied gold leaf formed the decorative slip, while the glass plates were silvered using period manufacturing techniques.

Authentic 19th-century examples usually feature original pine backing boards, square-headed iron nails, natural age-related foxing to the glass, and porcelain or wooden support feet designed to raise the frame off the mantelpiece shelf.

Position the piece directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or atop a dining room sideboard to anchor the space. The contrast of dark polished timber and muted gold gilding pairs seamlessly with both historic period features and contemporary minimalist colour palettes.

Dust the wood and gilt mouldings regularly with a dry, soft bristle brush or microfibre cloth, keeping moisture away from water-gilded areas. Clean the mirror plate by spraying glass cleaner directly onto a cloth rather than onto the mirror itself to avoid edge seepage.
