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

Overmantel mirrors from the Victorian period were designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring wide proportions, moulded frames, and ornamental details such as gesso gilding and architectural columns.

These frames were typically constructed from carved wood coated with a gesso plaster substrate and finished with applied gold leaf over a clay bole base.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related craquelure or patina on the gilded surface, hand-carved joinery details, and period-correct glass plates.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or atop a wide console table to reflect natural light and create a formal focal point within the room.

Dust gently with a soft, dry camel hair brush or dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, polish, or water which can dissolve the water-gilded gesso layer.
