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

An overmantel mirror is a wide decorative mirror designed to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century Europe, these pieces reflect hearth light and expand the visual scale of reception rooms.

Traditional frames combine hand-carved wood with composition or plaster mouldings to create detailed crests and scrolls. The surface is coated in gesso and clay bole before fine gold leaf is applied via water gilding or oil gilding.

Authentic pieces show natural wear to the gilding, often revealing the reddish or greyish clay bole underneath. The rear usually features hand-sawn wood backings, while the glass may exhibit soft foxing or slight optical distortion.

Mount the mirror centrally above a fireplace or a long console table to create an architectural focal point. Pairing gilded scrollwork with modern neutral paint colours or minimalist furnishings provides a balanced design contrast.

Dust the frame gently using a soft feather duster or dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays that dissolve water gilding. Apply glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than the mirror face to prevent liquid pooling in the frame edge.
