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

Convex mirrors featuring gold leaf gilding, ball ornamentation, and carved crestings such as eagles became popular during the Regency period in Britain. The curved glass surface reflects an entire room, historically used to allow discreet observation of a space.

These mirrors were constructed from carved wood or moulded composition decorated with gold leaf gilding over a gesso base. The inner rim frequently incorporates an ebonised wooden slip surrounding a curved convex glass mirror plate.

Authentic 19th-century pieces exhibit natural wear to the gilding, often revealing the underlying red bole or white gesso. The reverse side typically features wooden backboards with historical joinery rather than modern synthetic fixings.

A gilt convex mirror creates a focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or within a hallway. The spherical glass reflects light and surrounding architectural details, introducing depth to contemporary schemes.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry brush without applying chemical cleaners or excess moisture. Clean the glass plate carefully with a damp microfibre cloth, ensuring liquids do not seep beneath the ebonised slip.
