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 Rococo-style overmantel mirror is characterised by asymmetrical curves, elaborate scrollwork, leaf motifs, and a wide horizontal proportion designed to sit flush above a fireplace mantelpiece.

Traditional construction involves hand-carved timber, often coated with gesso and covered with genuine gold leaf using water gilding or oil gilding techniques over mirror plate glass.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery, visible wood grain or shrinkage marks on the rear timber backing, natural oxidisation on the gilding, and slight silvering irregularities or foxing in the mirror glass.

Position the mirror above a contemporary or period fireplace mantel to create a central architectural focal point, or hang it low over a minimal hallway console to contrast clean lines with classic carved detail.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or chemical polish on the gold leaf as moisture can dissolve historic water gilding.
