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

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

Victorian overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to be hung above fireplace mantels, reflecting light and warmth into rooms during the 19th century.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden or composition frame finished with applied gold leaf or gilt, housing a heavy silvered glass plate secured with wooden backing boards.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age such as foxing on the mirror plate, hand-applied gesso detailing, period-appropriate fixings, and shrinkage cracks in the wooden frame.

Positioning the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall creates a striking focal point that contrasts historical craftsmanship with modern minimalism.

Clean the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner while avoiding harsh chemicals on the gilt frame to prevent damage to the delicate metallic finish.
