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

Designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantel, 19th-century overmantel mirrors typically feature arched tops, ornate cresting, and gilded wood and gesso frames influenced by Regency and Louis XVI revival styles.

These mirrors were constructed with a hand-carved wooden core coated in gessoa mixture of chalk and binderbefore fine gold leaf was applied to the surface and polished or burnished.

Authentic period gilding shows natural surface wear, visible seams where gold leaf sheets overlap, and small areas where the underlying red or grey clay bole shows through.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace hearth or mount it above a modern wooden sideboard to create visual contrast between historical ornamentation and clean modern lines.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or damp cloths that can dissolve gesso and strip away the original gold leaf layer.
