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 overmantel mirror is a large architectural mirror designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, historically engineered to reflect light from candles or oil lamps and visually expand living spaces.

Traditional 19th-century gilt frames were crafted from pine or lime wood coated in layers of gesso plaster, after which gold leaf was applied and burnished over a red or yellow bole clay base.

Authentic period gilding typically displays subtle seam lines where individual gold leaf squares overlap, alongside minor surface wear that reveals the underlying plaster gesso or clay bole.

Placing an overmantel mirror above a fireplace or a contemporary console table creates a focal point that bridges period architecture with modern furnishings.

Gilded surfaces should be cleaned solely with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, as liquid cleaners and water can dissolve the water-soluble gesso foundation.
