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.
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.
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.

An overmantel mirror is a wide reflective panel specifically proportioned and designed to sit directly above or rest upon a fireplace mantelpiece, serving as a focal point in traditional reception rooms.

Giltwood frames were constructed using hand-carved timber or molded gesso applied over softwood frames, which were then coated with clay bole, water-gilded with gold leaf, and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic period mirrors display subtle oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate, visible reddish or grey clay bole showing through worn areas of gilding, and historic timber backboards attached with hand-forged fittings.

Place the mirror resting directly on a fireplace mantel or mounted above a low console table to reflect natural light and create textural contrast against minimalist or dark-painted walls.

Clean the glass panel carefully using a lightly damp microfibre cloth while avoiding the frame, and gently remove dust from the gilded surface using only a soft dry bristle brush to prevent lifting the fragile gold leaf.
