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

During the 19th century, overmantel mirrors were designed as architectural focal points positioned above fireplace hearths to reflect light and expand the visual scale of formal reception rooms.

These mirror frames were typically constructed from softwood covered with gesso, a plaster-like mixture, which was sculpted and finished with gold leaf gilding over silvered glass.

Authentic period frames exhibit natural wear, such as fine craquelure cracking in the gesso layer, minor rubbing exposing the red bole underneath the gold leaf, and foxing on the original glass.

Designers mount overmantel mirrors above fireplaces or grand console tables, pairing the detailed frame with simplified modern furnishings to create a balanced visual focal point.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can dissolve original water-gilding and deteriorate delicate gesso details.
