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

Originating from the 1830s reign of King William IV, these mirrors feature carved wood frames combining late Regency structure with Rococo Revival scrollwork and low-profile bases intended to sit flush atop a fireplace mantelpiece.

Frames were carved from softwoods like pine or lime, coated in layered gesso, and finished with gold leaf applied over a coloured clay bole foundation before housing silvered or mercury plate glass.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved joinery on the reverse, natural age wear exposing the underlying bole through the gold leaf, and slight foxing or oxidation spots within the original glass.

Positioning the mirror above a living room fireplace or a contemporary console table creates a dramatic focal point that bounces natural light and provides a textural contrast to clean modern architecture.

Frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry feather duster or soft artist brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or liquid glass cleaners that dissolve gesso and detach delicate gold leaf.
