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.
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.

During the 19th century, wall mirrors featuring combined dark oak and gilding incorporated Victorian and Gothic Revival design elements, characterised by deeply moulded wooden frames and carved details highlighted with gold leaf.

Frames from this period were typically constructed from solid timber such as oak or pine, often layered with plaster or gesso detail, and completed with gold leaf gilding and dark wood stain treatments.

Authentic period mirrors generally feature original mirror silvering displaying subtle oxidation or foxing, natural wear to the gilded edges, hand-finished backing boards, and original metal hanging fitments.

Positioning an antique dark oak mirror above a contemporary console table or mantelpiece creates a contrast between historic carved craftsmanship and clean-lined modern architecture.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaning agents or abrasive chemical polishes that strip gilding and damage historic wood finishes.
