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.

Originating in the 1830s during the reign of King William IV, these mirrors typically feature architectural elements such as projecting cornices, half-columns, and central geometric motifs, bridging Regency refinement and early Victorian solidity.

Frames were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or rosewood, often featuring hand-carved mouldings and fitted with silvered or mercury-backed glass plates.

Authentic mercury glass usually displays characteristic age-related foxing, dark spots, and a subtle greyish sheen across the reflective backing, alongside hand-planed wooden backboards.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or within a narrow alcove to enhance ambient light, architectural height, and textural contrast against neutral walls.

Wipe the wooden frame with a clean microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, ensuring liquid glass cleaners do not seep behind the frame onto the original backing.
