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

An overmantel mirror is a large decorative mirror designed specifically to hang or rest directly above a fireplace mantle, popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

19th-century gilt mirrors typically feature hand-carved wooden frames or moulded composition ornament applied over wood, which were then sealed with gesso and finished with gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period giltwood mirrors usually show signs of age such as slight cracking in the gesso, red or grey bole clay showing through worn gold leaf, period-appropriate timber backing boards, and hand-cut fixings.

Position the overmantel mirror above a fireplace or a contemporary console table to create architectural depth, allowing the classical ornate frame to contrast with clean modern furnishings.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or duster, ensuring no water or liquid chemical cleaners are applied, as moisture can dissolve historic gesso and detach original leafing.
