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 were designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving as a visual focal point in 19th-century reception rooms by reflecting natural daylight and candlelight.

These mirrors were constructed with a carved pine or lime wood frame, prepared with layers of gesso, and finished with water-gilded gold leaf over silvered or mercury-backed glass plate.

Authentic period pieces feature original wooden backboards, subtle variations from hand-carved elements, natural wear exposing the reddish clay bole under the gilding, and light foxing on the glass.

Position the mirror above a modern or traditional fireplace, or place it atop a hallway console table to introduce warm metallic texture and create a sense of depth in contemporary rooms.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners which dissolve water-gesso foundations, and clean the glass plate with a lightly dampened cloth.
