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

Neo-Classical overmantel mirrors from the 1920s draw inspiration from late 18th and early 19th-century designs, featuring symmetrical proportions, classical architectural mouldings, and decorative motifs such as anthemion and egg-and-dart borders, often scaled specifically to sit above a fireplace hearth.

These mirrors typically feature a timber core layered with gesso, which is then hand-carved or moulded with decorative details before gold leaf application and painted finishes are applied to select surfaces.

Authentic early 20th-century pieces exhibit natural patination, subtle wear to the gilding showing the underlying bole or gesso, hand-fitted backboards, and period-appropriate glass with minor oxidisation.

Position the mirror centrally above a living room fireplace, a console table in a hallway, or a bedroom chimney breast to reflect light and create an architectural focal point that balances traditional structure with contemporary furnishings.

Clean the gilded and painted frame using only a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, chemical polishes, or moisture, which can dissolve water-gilding or damage fragile gesso layers.
