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

Louis Philippe overmantel mirrors typically feature soft, rounded upper shoulders paired with a flat bottom edge designed to sit flush against a fireplace mantelpiece. Frames are generally stream-lined with subtle gilding, beaded interior linear accents, and engraved floral or foliate pattern details.

These mirrors were constructed from carved timber frames coated with layers of gessoa smooth plaster mixtureand clay bole. Genuine gold leaf was then applied and burnished to create a lustrous finish over the glass panel.

Authentic pieces display natural wear to the gold leaf, revealing the reddish-brown clay bole or white gesso beneath. The backboard usually consists of pine or oak planking held by hand-cut nails, while the original glass often exhibits subtle distortion or oxidisation.

Positioning an overmantel mirror above a fireplace or atop a hall console table creates an immediate focal point that amplifies light. It pairs equally well with traditional panelling or sleek contemporary minimalist backdrops.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre feather duster, avoiding moisture entirely on the gilded areas. Water and chemical solvents can dissolve water-gilded gesso and strip away original gold leafing.
