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

Originating in 18th-century France, trumeau mirrors were engineered to fill the wall space, or trumeau, between windows. They traditionally incorporate a painted scene or carved relief panel set directly above the reflective glass.

These pieces typically feature timber frames ornamented with moulded composition (compoclay), decorated using oil gilding or water gilding over a gesso base, and house glass mirror plates alongside hand-painted oil canvases.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut backboards, natural distress to the gilding revealing the red or yellow bole underneath, and signs of age such as minor oxidation or foxing to the silvered mirror plate.

A trumeau mirror is placed above a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to introduce verticality, reflect light, and provide a architectural focal point within both classic and modern schemes.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry soft-bristled brush. Avoid using liquid cleansers or water on gilt composition surface details, and clean the glass plate with a lightly dampened cloth applied strictly away from the gilt borders.
