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.

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 archtop overmantel mirror is a wall-mounted mirror featuring a rounded upper edge, designed historically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors were constructed with wooden frames covered in molded gesso plaster details, coated with bole clay, and finished with hand-applied thin sheets of gold leaf over silvered or mercury glass.

Authentic pieces display original pine or oak backboards, gentle wear or rubbing on the gilding showing reddish clay underneath, and natural oxidisation spots scattered on the glass surface.

Position the mirror centrally above a fireplace surround, or mount it above a hallway console table to serve as an architectural focal point that maximizes light flow.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster, strictly avoiding damp cloths, water, or commercial polish which dissolve gold leaf and gesso.
