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

A Georgian overmantel mirror is designed specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring architectural proportions, giltwood or gesso framing, and classical decorative motifs popular during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Original period mirrors were typically constructed from carved pine or lime wood coated in gesso, finished with hand-applied gold leaf gilding, and fitted with mercury glass mirror plates.

Authentic period pieces often show light wear to the gold leaf revealing red or grey clay bole beneath, minor oxidisation or foxing spots on the mercury glass, and hand-carved wood backing boards.

Position the mirror directly above a main fireplace hearth or rest it securely atop a deep console table to maximize natural light refraction and establish a focal point within contemporary or traditional rooms.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, spray cleaners, or chemical solvents, as moisture can dissolve the gesso substrate and loosen original gold leafing.
