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

Chippendale Revival mirrors, prominent in the early 20th century, replicate 18th-century designs featuring distinctive scroll-cut or fretwork outlines, ears at the corners, and often incorporate gilded slips or crestings.

Pieces from this era typically feature a timber base, such as pine or oak, overlaid with rich mahogany veneers, detailed with cast brass fittings, and fitted with gilded inner slip mouldings framing mirrored glass.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit hand-cut timber backing boards, natural oxidation or slight desilverizing on the glass plate, aged varnish patina, and original gilt slip joinery along the interior perimeter.

Positioning a dark wood mirror above a modern fireplace mantlepiece or console table creates a focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist or eclectic interior design schemes.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth while avoiding water or harsh solvents on gilded areas, and clean the glass plate separately using a damp cloth carefully applied to avoid liquid entering the frame joins.
