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

Designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantle, 19th-century overmantel mirrors typically feature carved wooden frames coated in gesso and gold leaf gilding, serving as architectural focal points in reception rooms.

Frame structures were carved from timber and coated with gessoa mixture of chalk and glue binderbefore delicate gold leaf was applied, hand-carved, and burnished to create dimensional relief details.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural wear to the gilding, fine cracking within the gesso layer, period glass with light foxing, and traditional joinery on the rear wooden enclosure.

Position the mirror directly above a central fireplace or console table to reflect natural daylight, enlarge the visual scale of the room, and provide classical contrast against modern wall finishes.

Dust the ornate areas using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding water and liquid cleansers which can dissolve gesso and lift fragile gold leafing.
