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.

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 Victorian reverse-painted mirror features detailed illustrations painted directly onto the back of the glass sheet before the reflective silver backing is applied. Popular during the late nineteenth century, this technique protected the artwork from surface wear and added dimensional depth to floral and landscape scenes.

These mirrors were typically constructed using silvered glass plates, mineral pigments, enamel paints, and heavy timber frames made from oak, mahogany, or walnut. Etched details were created by removing areas of silvering to reveal delicate geometric or structural patterns within the composition.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural oxidation, light crazing to the backing plate, and hand-applied paint layers visible through the glass thickness. Modern reproductions often use printed transfers or synthetic backing materials that lack the slight irregularities of genuine hand-painted glass.

Position the mirror on a narrow accent wall, in a dark hallway, or layered above a contemporary console table to create visual contrast. Pairing ornate Victorian glasswork with minimalist furnishings creates a curated space that highlights historical craftsmanship.

Clean the front glass gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid glass cleaners that could seep behind the frame and damage the paint or silvering. Preserve the rear of the panel by keeping the mirror in a stable atmosphere away from dampness, direct heat, and humidity.
