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

Overmantel mirrors became prominent during the Victorian era, specifically proportioned to sit above fireplace hearths to reflect candlelight and maximize natural illumination within grand reception rooms.

Craftsmen carved solid wood frames, applied layers of gesso plaster, and then meticulously hand-applied gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques before burnishing the decorative elements.

Authentic period pieces show subtle foxing and natural oxidisation on the glass silvering, soft wear on high points revealing underlying red or grey bole, and hand-cut timber backboards.

Position the mirror directly above a chimney breast to anchor a living space, or lean it against a prominent wall in a hallway to serve as a dramatic full-length floor mirror.

Gently dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or chemical polishes which can erode the fragile gold leaf and gesso layer.
