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.

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

A sorcerers mirror, or il de sorciere, is a small convex glass mirror originating in Western Europe during the Renaissance, designed to bounce light and provide a wide field of view across a room.

These mirrors were crafted using hand-blown glass formed into a convex shape, backed with silver or mercury amalgams, and often framed with moulded timber or lead rims.

Authentic pieces display period glass characteristics, including minor surface distortion, micro-bubbling, oxidisation spots, and age-related backing degradation.

They are frequently arranged in clustered gallery displays on a narrow wall space or placed above a console table to reflect natural light and create visual interest.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the glass surface to prevent moisture from seeping behind the rim.
