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

Edwardian etched glass mirrors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries typically feature delicate Neoclassical revival designs, including urns, swags, scrollwork borders, and central medallions produced using acid-etching or wheel-engraving techniques.

Craftsmen applied acid-resistant wax masks onto plate glass and exposed uncovered areas to hydrofluoric acid to create frosted patterns, combined with copper-wheel engraving for intricate fine detail.

Authentic pieces demonstrate minor surface irregularities, subtle silvering oxidisation on the mirror backing, crisp depth in the wheel-engraved motifs, and solid timber backing boards.

Positioning etched mirrors opposite natural light sources creates texture without visual clutter, while pairing them with streamlined contemporary furniture highlights the detailed glass craftsmanship.

Clean the glass using a dry microfiber cloth or a sparingly applied ammonia-free glass cleaner, ensuring liquids do not pool near the frame edges or seep onto the rear silvering.
