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

Keep wooden frames away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent cracking. Clean the glass sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays that could seep behind the frame.

Positioning such a piece above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a strong focal point, reflecting natural light while contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-applied gesso or gilt details, and original mirror glass featuring minor foxing, oxidation, and subtle imperfections consistent with age.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as pine or gesso-coated timber, adorned with carved wooden or composition ornaments, and fitted with silvered sheet glass.

Victorian mirrors often feature elaborate ornamentation, classical architectural elements such as columns and pediments, and heavily carved wooden frames finished with gilt or paint.
