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.

This 19th Century French Chateau wall mirror takes the form of an octagonal margin mirror measuring 103 cm high, 69 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. The frame combines gilded wood, glass, and gesso in a gold colourway, incorporating a moulded crest to the top with flower decoration, cut glass Venetian type borders, and a geometrical design to the outer edge. An original bevelled glass mirror plate sits within the structure, complemented by scroll cresting and floral engraving motifs across the construction. Suitable for placement above the mantel in a home today, this wall mirror brings historical character to a reception room or hallway setting. The combination of reflective surfaces and carved details offers a functional wall hanging suited to traditional interior schemes.

FAQs

A margin mirror features a central glass mirror plate framed by an outer border of angled or patterned mirror strips, designed to increase light reflection and add visual depth.

These mirrors were constructed using carved wood or moulded gesso on a wooden backing, finished with gold leaf gilding and fitted with hand-cut bevelled glass plates.

Authentic period examples display natural age-related oxidisation or foxing on the glass silvering, timber backboards secured with hand-cut nails, and subtle wear to the gilded gesso layer.

Positioning an octagonal margin mirror above a mantlepiece or console table creates a focal point that reflects light and pairs well with both period mouldings and contemporary minimalist furniture.

Clean glass plates with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners near the gilding, and dust the carved gesso frame gently with a soft bristle brush.
