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.

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

During the nineteenth century, overmantel mirrors became central decorative architectural elements in British homes, designed to fit precisely above fireplace mantels to maximize natural light and visually expand living spaces.

Frame construction relied on carved softwoods or hardwoods covered with moulded gesso, a composite of plaster and glue, which was then painted or gilded before housing silvered mirror glass plate.

Authentic period pieces display natural signs of age such as fine craquelure in the gesso, light oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate, and period joinery on the rear wooden backboard.

Position the mirror above a contemporary or period fireplace, or mount it above a hallway console table to create a strong focal point within modern minimalist or classic interior schemes.

Clean the delicate gesso frame using a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths that could soften or dislodge the historic plasterwork.
