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.

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 designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantel piece. Originating in the 17th century and gaining widespread popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, these mirrors feature proportions that complement chimney breasts, often incorporating arched tops or architectural crestings.

Frames from this period typically feature a carved wooden core layered with gesso, a smooth mixture of chalk and binder. Gold leaf was applied over the gesso using water or oil gilding techniques, accompanied by thick silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces generally display pine backboards fixed with hand-cut nails or screws, natural oxidisation or dark foxing specks within the glass silvering, and fine cracks known as craquelure in the gesso layer beneath the gilding.

Place the mirror centrally above a fireplace mantel piece or rest it on a sideboard to create a focal point. Combining gilded frames with neutral walls or contemporary furniture creates a balanced contrast that enhances light reflection in the space.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft, dry feather duster or dry brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that dissolve water-gilded surfaces. Spray glass cleaner directly onto a cloth rather than the glass to prevent liquid from seeping into the wooden frame edges.
