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.

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

Regency convex mirrors became prominent in early nineteenth-century Britain, constructed with curved glass to reflect ambient light around dining rooms and display an entire space from a single viewing point.

These frames were sculpted from timber and layered with gesso, which was subsequently smoothed and gilded with gold leaf using water or oil techniques before securing the curved mirror glass.

Authentic period examples often show subtle wear revealing red or grey clay bole beneath the gilded surface, accompanied by hand-cut timber backboards and minor oxidisation or foxing within the glass.

Mount the mirror central to a focal wall, such as above a fireplace or sideboard, where its curved distortion captures light and introduces depth to contemporary room schemes.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft feather duster, avoiding wet solvents or chemical sprays that could dissolve the gesso backing or lift delicate leafing.
