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

An overmantel mirror is a decorative wall mirror specifically proportioned and architectural styled to hang or sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece.

Nineteenth-century overmantel mirrors were constructed using a timber core covered in gesso moulding, which was hand-gilded with gold leaf and fitted with heavy glass plate.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural oxidation, minor desilvering or foxing on the glass, hand-carved joinery on the wooden backing, and subtle wear through the gilding revealing the underlying red or grey bole.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace or atop a grand sideboard to draw the eye upward, create visual depth, and complement surrounding modern or classic furnishings.

Dust the ornate gesso frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture, liquid polish, or chemical cleaning solutions that dissolve gesso and strip gilding.
