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.

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

Designed to sit directly above a fireplace hearth, 19th-century cast iron overmantel mirrors served as decorative architectural accents in Victorian and Edwardian homes, reflecting ambient light throughout the room.

These items were produced by pouring molten iron into detailed sand moulds, creating crisp relief patterns, classical motifs, and rigid structural frames that were subsequently painted, bronzed, or blackened.

Authentic period examples feature substantial physical weight, crisp casting detail on the front face alongside rough sand-cast texture on the reverse, and minor surface oxidisation or historic paint layers.

Position the mirror above a chimney breast, console table, or sideboard to establish an architectural focal point, pairing the dark ironwork with neutral walls or deep heritage paint colours.

Dust the cast iron surface regularly with a soft dry brush or lint-free cloth, avoid liquid cleaners that induce rust, and periodically apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax or graphite paste to protect the metal finish.
