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

Victorian overmantel mirrors are designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantel, typically featuring a flat base with rounded or arched upper corners. They were often constructed with moulded timber frames finished in gold leaf gilding or gesso detailing.

Frames from this period were predominantly crafted from carved pine or lime wood coated in gesso and clay bole. Layers of genuine gold leaf were then applied and burnished to create a luminous metallic finish.

Authentic period pieces often show red or grey bole clay peeking through worn gilding, along with original pine backing boards and slight foxing or oxidisation marks on the original glass.

Positioning an arched gilt mirror above a chimney breast or modern console table creates contrast between traditional craftsmanship and clean contemporary architectural lines.

Giltwood and gesso surfaces should never be cleaned with liquid chemicals or water, as moisture dissolves gesso. Dust the frame gently using a soft dry camel-hair brush or microfibre duster.
