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

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a George III fretwork mirror features hand-cut scrolled mahogany silhouette framing, often embellished with gilt mouldings and crest motifs such as a Ho-Ho bird or shell.

These mirrors are predominantly constructed from solid or veneered mahogany, featuring pine backing boards, hand-carved giltwood or gesso crests, and silvered glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on the fretwork edges, natural timber shrinkage, hand-forged fasteners on the backboard, and characteristic oxidation or foxing on the glass plate.

Position the mirror above a console table, mantelpiece, or hallway sideboard to contrast dark mahogany timber against contemporary painted walls.

Clean the timber frame with a dry microfibre cloth and beeswax polish, while avoiding harsh liquid cleaners on the glass or gilded elements to protect the finish.
