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

An arched overmantel mirror is a wide, wall-mounted or resting mirror featuring a curved upper rim, historically designed to sit directly above a fireplace hearth to reflect light and enhance room proportions.

These mirrors were typically constructed from softwood frameworks coated with gesso, a plaster-like compound moulded into decorative scrolls and leaves, before being finished with thin gold leaf.

Authentic period mirrors often display natural age oxidation on the glass plate, fine craquelure cracks along the gesso details, and original timber backing boards secured behind the frame.

Position the mirror above a living room fireplace mantelpiece or mount it above a hallway console table to balance historic architectural detail with modern interior elements.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, commercial solvents, or damp cloths, as moisture can dissolve historic gesso and lift gold leaf.
