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

The Aesthetic movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against mainstream industrial production, promoting art for arts sake with influences from Japanese art, clean structural lines, and stylised motifs.

Wood such as pine or mahogany was typically stained or painted black to imitate costly ebony, complemented by hand-applied gold leaf or parcel-gilt detailing to highlight architectural mouldings and decorative panels.

Authentic pieces generally feature period construction methods such as hand-bevelled glass plates, traditional joinery, old backing boards, and natural ageing like minor oxidisation within the mirror silvering.

Positioning the mirror above a functional or decorative fireplace anchors the rooms proportions, while pairing it with minimalist furnishings creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern simplicity.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent degradation of the glass backing, and clean the frame using only a dry, soft cloth without chemical solvents.
