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

Produced during the early to mid-20th century, velvet-backed wall mirrors combine glass mirror plates with fabric backings to create visual contrast and texture. Frequently made with integrated glass shelves, these pieces functioned as both wall decoration and practical ledges for small vanity items.

These pieces consist of a central glass mirror panel mounted onto a fabric-wrapped board or wooden frame. Additional elements, such as bevelled borders, cut-glass roundels, or glass shelves, were held in place using metal clips, mounts, or concealed screws.

Authentic period examples often feature hand-cut glass bevels, geometric shapes, thumbprint roundel cuts, and natural age-related foxing on the reflective backing. The rear construction typically reveals aged timber, period hanging hardware, and authentic fabric wear.

Position the mirror in an entryway, dressing area, or narrow wall space to introduce warmth and texture. The integrated glass shelf provides a display platform for small scent bottles, single flower stems, or trinkets.

Clean the glass panel using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or glass cleaner, ensuring fluid does not seep under the edges onto the velvet. Gently vacuum the fabric backing using a low-power soft brush attachment to remove accumulated dust.
