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

The Aesthetic Movement emerged in the late 19th century, promoting art for arts sake with an emphasis on visual harmony, craftsmanship, and Japanese artistic influence. Key characteristics include ebonised wood finishes, incised parcel gilding, nature-inspired hand-painted panels, and asymmetric spindle shelf structures.

These mirrors were typically constructed from softwoods or hardwoods such as pine, walnut, or mahogany, which were stained and lacquered black to imitate ebony. Ornamentation included incised gold leaf gilding, silvered glass mirror plates, and hand-painted wooden or ceramic panels.

Authentic pieces feature period joinery methods like hand-cut dovetails, original mercury or silvered mirror glass displaying slight foxing, fine incised gilding rather than heavy gold paint, and characteristic motifs such as sunbursts, naturalistic birds, or flora.

An ebonised overmantel mirror acts as a strong focal point above a modern or historic mantelpiece. The dark frame creates graphic contrast against neutral walls, while the side shelves allow display of small contemporary ceramics or glassware.

Dust surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster to prevent scratching the gilded lines. Avoid water, harsh chemical spray cleaners, or solvent-based polishes, as these can lift delicate gold leaf and damage original painted decoration.
