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 from this period features a curved or gently tapered hourglass silhouette created to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, typically framed in carved giltwood.

These mirror frames were traditionally constructed from softwood or lime wood, coated in gesso plaster, and finished with thin layers of gold leaf gilding over silvered glass.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved wooden joinery behind the gesso, natural rubbing on high points showing underlying clay bole, and gentle atmospheric foxing on the glass.

Positioning the mirror above a mantelpiece or mounting it above a hallway console table creates a central focal point while bouncing light across the interior.

Dust the frame lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush, taking care to avoid water or commercial chemical polishes which can dissolve gesso and gold leaf.
