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 gained widespread popularity during the 19th century as fireplace focal points. Designed to fit the proportions above a hearth, they reflected both candlelight and daylight, increasing illumination across large formal reception rooms.

Victorian craftsmen frequently utilized solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut, often accentuating the moulded timber frames with gilding, plaster composition ornament, and silvered glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors typically display hand-finished joinery on the reverse timber backing, subtle oxidation or distressing on the mirror glass, and natural wear along gilded or polished highlights.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantlepiece or place it atop a substantial wooden sideboard to anchor the room. Pairing the warm timber frame with modern neutral wall colours creates a refined, balanced aesthetic.

Dust the wood and gilt work lightly with a dry, soft microfibre brush. Avoid chemical liquid cleaners on gilded surfaces, as moisture can strip delicate gold leaf layers and loosen historical gesso.
