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.

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

Levantine inlaid mirrors are characteristic of late 19th-century Middle Eastern craftsmanship, incorporating hand-carved arabesque scrollwork, geometric shell inlays, and mashrabiya latticework panels influenced by traditional Ottoman architecture.

These frames were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, featuring natural mother-of-pearl or nacre shell inlays alongside hand-turned wooden bobbins arranged in openwork grille patterns.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved irregularities, natural variations in shell colour, hand-cut joinery, and age-appropriate oxidation and wear on the reverse side of the timber frame.

An ornate inlaid mirror functions as a textured focal point above a hallway console table, within a gallery wall, or contrasted against contemporary minimalist backgrounds.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical detergents that degrade natural shell inlays, and maintain a stable humidity level to prevent timber movement.
