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

An ebonised and gilt overmantel mirror features a wooden frame treated to resemble dark ebony wood, accented with gold leaf or gilding. Designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, these mirrors characteristically possess a wider horizontal aspect ratio to align with architectural proportions.

Victorian craftsmen typically constructed these frames using dense hardwoods such as beech or pine, which were stained, blackened, or polished to emulate true ebony. Ornamental details were produced using carved timber or applied gesso, finished with oil or water gilding.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-cut timber backing boards, signs of age-related oxidisation or dark speckling on the mirror glass plate, and natural wear where gilt highlights meet the black stained timber.

A black and gilt mirror provides strong visual contrast against light-coloured walls or creates depth within darker, dramatic colour schemes. Position it above a fireplace or a minimalist sideboard to anchor the rooms central axis.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush around carved details. Avoid liquid cleaners, solvents, or damp cloths on gilt surface areas, as water can dissolve underlying gesso layers.
