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.
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.
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.

Victorian full length dressing mirrors from the late 19th century typically feature tall proportions, arched tops, and gilded or timber frames designed for bedroom or dressing room use.

Frames were commonly constructed from carved pine or pine with moulded gesso detailing, finished with hand-applied gold leaf over a coloured bole base, housing mercury-amalgam or silvered glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors often display natural wear to the gilding revealing reddish or grey bole beneath, square-cut backboards, original plate imperfections, and plaster or gesso composition details.

A large full length mirror can be leaned against a wall in a hallway, bedroom, or living area to maximise light reflection and create an illusion of increased ceiling height.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding water, solvents, or liquid glass cleaners near the gilded frame to prevent dissolving the water gilding or gesso.
