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

Arched overmantel mirrors became prominent during the 18th and 19th centuries as functional architectural focal points designed to sit directly above fireplace hearths and reflect ambient candlelight across drawing rooms.

Period frames were predominantly constructed from carved timber coated in layers of gessoa chalk and glue mixtureand detailed with intricate plaster moulding before real gold leaf was hand-applied to the surface.

Authentic period pieces feature natural wear on raised edges revealing red or grey clay bole beneath the gilding, alongside original timber backboards fastened with historic hand-forged tacks or square nails.

Position the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace mantelpiece, hallway console table, or dining room sideboard to create visual balance and maximise natural light reflection.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding water, liquid detergents, or abrasive clothes which can dissolve gesso and strip historic gold leaf.
