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

Emerging in the late nineteenth century, Aesthetic Movement overmantel mirrors were designed to sit above fireplace hearths, featuring decorative ebonised timber framing, architectural shelves for displaying porcelain, and influences from Japanese design principles.

Craftsmen utilised hardwoods such as fruitwood, beech, or mahogany treated with dark stains or dyes to simulate ebony, embellished with hand-painted floral panels, incised gilding, and silvered glass mirror plates.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate wear to the gilding, soft foxing or desilveration on the glass plates, hand-cut joinery on the reverse timber, and thin coats of original ebonising rather than heavy modern black paint.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace or console table to create an architectural focal point, pairing its dark profile with contrasting light walls, brass lighting, or minimalist decorative accents.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid using water or chemical solvent cleaners on painted and gilt areas, and clean the glass plates using a lightly dampened cloth without touching the frame edges.
