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

Popularised during the Georgian and Regency eras, convex mirrors feature curved glass designed to reflect light across an entire room. Often topped with eagle crestings or mythical motifs, these pieces served as functional and decorative focal points in formal reception rooms.

These mirrors were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany or carved pine, frequently featuring gilded or stained timber finishes. The frames often incorporate ebonised inner rings to accentuate the central convex glass plate.

Authentic 19th-century examples show natural age to the timber backboard, hand-carved details, and subtle distortion or light foxing on the original convex glass plate. Modern reproductions often feature lightweight synthetic materials or uniform backings.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table maximises light distribution and adds an architectural focal point. The dark timber contrast provides structural character against contemporary neutral wall finishes.

Dust the carved timber frame using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes. Clean the convex glass plate with a lightly dampened cloth, ensuring no liquid seeps behind the ebonised inner slip.
