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

Originating in 17th-century Holland and Flanders, ripple moulding frames combined intricate wave-cut wood accents with exotic materials like tortoiseshell. These frame designs remained popular through 19th-century revivals, blending geometric texture with organic patterns.

These frames typically feature ebonised hardwood mouldings alongside natural tortoiseshell veneer or painted horn substitutes, surrounding a silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentic period pieces display natural variations in the mottled tortoiseshell pattern, hand-turned or carved wave mouldings, original wood backing, and age-consistent oxidisation or light desilvered spots on the mirror plate.

Mount the mirror above a timber sideboard, display it as part of a curated gallery wall, or position it within a hallway to create depth and texture against muted or dark paint palettes.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent veneer movement or lifting. Dust the frame gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical solvents on the decorative surround.
