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

Victorian giltwood overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to sit directly above fireplace mantels during the 19th century, featuring flat bases, arched tops, and wooden or composition frames decorated with applied gold leaf.

These frames were typically constructed from pine or lime wood with cast composition mouldings made from chalk, resin, and linseed oil, subsequently finished with water gilding or oil gilding using thin gold leaf.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut timber backboards, naturally occurring oxidation or foxing on the glass plate, and subtle wear to the gilded surface revealing the red or grey clay bole beneath.

Positioning a large giltwood mirror above a contemporary fireplace or console table creates a focal point that reflects light and balances modern minimalist decor with historic texture.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft brush or feather duster without water, as moisture damages water gilding, and clean the glass separately with a damp lint-free cloth.
