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.

Venetian mirrors originated in Murano, Italy, famed for their intricate glasswork, decorative glass borders, etched details, and ornamental cresting developed during the Renaissance and refined through the 18th and 19th centuries.

These mirrors were crafted using hand-blown silvered glass plates, accented with coloured glass margins, silver leaf finishes, and hand-carved timber pediments featuring fruit and botanical motifs.

Authentic period examples display hand-bevelled edges, subtle glass oxidisation or silvering loss, hand-carved wooden backings with historic fixings, and individually cut glass border elements rather than modern uniform moulded glass.

Position the mirror above a contemporary sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to create visual depth, allowing the silver tones and coloured glass accents to function as a focal point against neutral backdrops.

Clean the glass plate using a dry microfibre cloth or a lightly applied non-ammonia glass cleaner, avoiding contact with the gilded timber frame and silver leaf carving to prevent moisture damage.
