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.

Victorian overmantel mirrors originated in 19th-century Britain, designed specifically to sit atop fireplace mantels to reflect candlelight and expand the visual proportions of reception rooms.

Frames were typically constructed from pine or lime wood, layered with gesso, plaster moulding, and finished with delicate gold leaf application.

Authentic period pieces feature original silvered or mercury glass with light foxing, hand-carved wood structures, and natural wear or hairline cracks in the gesso substrate.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or atop a minimalist console table to contrast intricate historic gilding with modern structural lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or chemical polishes that can erode the gold leaf layer.
