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

Overmantel mirrors gained widespread popularity in 18th and 19th-century European interior design, functioning as integral architectural elements placed directly above fireplace mantels to maximize natural light and reflect grand reception rooms.

Frames were typically constructed from carved softwood or timber armatures covered in moulded gesso, finished with hand-applied gold leaf water gilding, and fitted with silvered or mercurial glass panels.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-carved joinery on the reverse pine backboards, subtle foxing or oxidation within the glass silvering, and natural wear or plaster exposure beneath the gilded surface.

Designers position large gilt mirrors above chimney breasts or contemporary console tables, using the rich metallic finish and sculpted cresting to create contrast against modern neutral walls.

Dust gilt gesso frames lightly using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths which dissolve historic water gilding and damage underlying plaster work.
