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 specifically to sit above fireplace hearths in 19th-century homes, these mirrors feature arched tops and flat bases tailored to mantelpiece dimensions, serving as central decorative elements in Victorian reception rooms.

Frames were typically constructed from softwood or lime wood covered in hand-moulded gesso, finished with leaf gilding, and fitted with silvered or mercury glass mirror plates.

Authentic period examples demonstrate subtle signs of age including light craquelure in the gesso ground, gentle wear to the gold leaf exposing underlying bole, and natural foxing to the original glass.

Positioning the mirror above a living room fireplace or hanging it above a hallway console table adds architectural height, reflects natural light, and creates a focal point within contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding liquids, chemical cleaners, or spraying glass polish directly near the gilding, as moisture can dissolve historic gesso layer structures.
