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

Early Victorian overmantel mirrors typically feature soft arched tops, gilded plaster or timber frames, and ornate scrollwork designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantlepiece.

These mirrors were constructed using timber frames overlaid with carved gesso or composition mouldings, finished with gold leaf application and glass plates.

Authentic pieces often feature solid backboards, original silvered glass showing subtle oxidisation, and wear to the gilding revealing the reddish clay bole underneath.

Positioning an arched overmantel mirror above a contemporary fireplace hearth or console table anchors the room and maximizes natural light reflection.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush; avoid liquid cleaning agents and water on water-gilded surfaces, as moisture will dissolve the delicate gesso substrate.
