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

Originating in the late 17th century and reaching peak popularity during the Victorian period, overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantle. They were crafted to reflect both daylight and candlelight, brightening living spaces while serving as a central decorative focal point in formal reception rooms.

Victorian overmantel mirrors were commonly constructed using solid timber foundations, such as pine or mahogany, overlaid with decorative veneers like burr walnut or rosewood. The glass panels were historically silvered using mercury or silver nitrate, often framed with moulded timber profiles or gilded plaster ornament.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display natural, irregular swirl patterns characteristic of burr wood veneer, often accompanied by mild hairline shrinkage cracks along joint lines. Inspecting the reverse typically reveals hand-sawn backing boards, original iron mounting plates, and subtle oxidisation or distressing within the mirror plate itself.

Positioning a large wooden mirror above a contemporary fireplace hearth or a sleek hallway sideboard creates a strong visual anchor. The warm wood tones contrast effectively against muted neutral paint schemes, dark feature walls, or minimal architectural backgrounds.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and applying a neutral beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year. Avoid chemical spray cleaners on the glass near the frame to prevent moisture from seeping under the veneer edge or corroding the mirror backing.
