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

Popularised in the late 19th century, Aesthetic Movement mirrors emphasise art for arts sake, frequently featuring ebonised timber frames, Japanese-influenced floral motifs, hand-painted details, and delicate gilding.

These mirrors were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or pine, which were finished with black ebonisation, hand-painted foliage, gilt embellishments, and mercury or silvered glass plates.

Authentic period pieces feature period joinery on the backboard, natural surface wear or oxidisation on the glass plate, hand-applied paintwork with visible brushstrokes, and original ebonised wood finishes.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace hearth, chimney breast, or modern console table to serve as a focal point, balancing dark wood frames against neutral or muted wall finishes.

Dust the wooden frame regularly using a dry, non-abrasive microfibre cloth without chemical polishes, and clean the glass plate using a slightly damp cloth, taking care to prevent liquid from contacting the painted frame edges.
