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

A margin mirror, also known as a border or cushion mirror, consists of a main central glass plate bordered by secondary mirror segments set within a decorated frame, a design popularised in 19th-century decor.

These frames were typically sculpted from timber, coated with layers of gesso plaster, and finished with gold leaf using water gilding or oil gilding techniques around mirrored glass plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit evidence of hand-carved wood beneath the gesso, subtle wear or red bole showing through the gilding, period-appropriate timber backboards, and natural oxidisation on the glass plate.

Positioning a large oval mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or side console table creates a focal point that reflects light and adds architectural proportion to contemporary or traditional rooms.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or water which can dissolve the gesso substrate and detach the delicate gold leaf.
