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

Produced between 1727 and 1760, George II mirrors are characterized by symmetrical fret-cut timber frames, shaped crestings, and parcel-gilt embellishments such as shells, plumes, or side foliage.

These pieces were typically constructed from softwood sub-frames veneered in walnut, complemented by hand-carved elements finished with gold leaf gilding and mercury glass plates.

Authentic period examples usually exhibit hand-sawn pine backboards, original gilding with natural oxidisation, hand-bevelled glass with minor surface imperfections, and genuine age-related shrinkage in the timber veneer.

Positioning the mirror above a modern sideboard or console table creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and contemporary decor, whilst enhancing light distribution in entrance halls or dining spaces.

Dust the timber frame gently using a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, clean the mirror plate with a lightly dampened cloth while avoiding moisture contact with gilt areas, and keep the item away from direct heat sources.
