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

Overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace hearth, often featuring a flat base to rest on the mantel and an arched top to complement period interior architecture.

Frames from this era were typically built from softwood bases, coated in a carved gesso layer composed of chalk and glue, and finished with applied gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period mirror glass frequently displays natural oxidisation or foxing, subtle visual distortion from early plate glass manufacturing, and original timber backboards.

Position the mirror above a living room fireplace, place it atop a hallway console table, or lean it against a focal wall to reflect natural light and create spatial depth.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft brush to avoid lifting delicate gold leaf, and clean the glass using a lightly dampened microfibre cloth without harsh liquid cleaners.
