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

Designed during the 19th century, Victorian overmantel mirrors were crafted specifically to sit above a fireplace hearth, featuring flat bases, arched tops, and ornate cresting to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

These mirrors typically feature a softwood frame coated in gesso moulding, finished with gold leaf gilding, and fitted with hand-cut glass backed by pine panelling.

Authentic pieces display natural oxidation or foxing on the glass, hand-carved backboards, signs of age-related wear on the gesso, and gold leaf gilding with subtle red or yellow bole undertones.

Place the flat base directly on a fireplace mantelpiece or mount it slightly above to act as a focal point, balancing traditional gilded details against contemporary decor.

Dust the gesso frame gently with a dry soft brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can dissolve the gilding, and wipe the glass carefully with a slightly dampened cloth.
