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.
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.

George II style mirrors feature architectural forms, symmetrical scrollwork, and rich timber veneers such as walnut or mahogany. Popularised in 18th-century England, these pieces often incorporate gilded sight size mouldings and central figurative crestings such as eagles.

These mirrors are typically constructed with a solid timber carcass layered with figured walnut veneer. Secondary decorative features often include water-gilded or oil-gilded carved wood or gesso crestings and bevelled glass plates.

Late 19th-century revival pieces generally exhibit machine-cut backboards, precise saw marks on the timber carcass, and refined marquetry techniques. Original 18th-century examples tend to display hand-riven backboards, irregular joint construction, and natural oxidisation on the mirror plate.

Position the mirror above a console table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to serve as a vertical focal point. The combination of warm walnut tones and gilded details pairs well with neutral painted walls and contemporary artwork.

Dust the timber and giltwood frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid disturbing fragile gilding. Clean the glass plate by spraying glass cleaner directly onto a microfibre cloth rather than spraying the mirror frame directly.
