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

A 19th-century French overmantel mirror is designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, featuring a flat base and a contoured top frame often decorated with elaborate carved foliage, scroll crestings, or shell motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using a hand-carved wooden frame coated in gesso, a mixture of binder and chalk, which allowed craftsmen to mould detailed relief ornament before applying gilding or paint finishes.

Authentic pieces typically display original mercury glass with subtle dark spots or foxing, hand-carved backboards with historic joinery, and natural surface wear or craquelure across the painted gesso finish.

A painted overmantel mirror can be mounted directly above a fireplace surround, positioned over a hallway console table, or rested leaning against a wall to reflect light and create visual depth in contemporary living spaces.

Frame surfaces should be gently dusted using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquids or abrasive chemical cleaners that could dissolve the water-based gesso or compromise aged paint layers.
