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.

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

Overmantel mirrors from the 19th century were designed specifically to sit above fireplace mantels, featuring arched tops, ornate carved crestings, and wide bases with side feet to rest securely on a shelf.

These mirrors were constructed from carved timber framing layered with gesso, a smooth plaster mixture, before being detailed with gold leaf gilding and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic 19th-century gilt mirrors typically exhibit gentle flaking or wear to the gesso, evidence of hand-carved joinery on the reverse, and natural oxidisation or mild foxing on the glass reflection.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace surround, a long sideboard, or a console table to establish a focal point that contrasts ornate historic craftsmanship with clean architectural lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled artist brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture and liquid cleaners, as water can dissolve the underlying gesso and lift the gold leaf.
