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.
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.
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.

A convex mirror features curved glass that reflects a wide field of view, becoming prominent in Georgian and Regency interiors as both a decorative centrepiece and a means to bounce natural light around a room.

These mirrors are typically constructed from carved wood or composition gesso over wood, finished with gold leaf gilding, and frequently feature an ebonised reeded inner slip alongside curved mirror glass.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-applied gilding showing subtle wear, a dark reeded inner ring, carved or moulded spherule decorations, and natural age-related foxing or slight distortions in the mirror glass.

Positioning a convex mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table creates a dramatic focal point while drawing light into contemporary living spaces.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or commercial polishes that could damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
