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

Early 18th-century Queen Anne and early Georgian wall mirrors typically feature shaped walnut frames, architectural or scroll-cut cresting, and carved gilding such as shell or acanthus leaf motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using figured walnut veneers laid over softwood carcases, with hand-carved giltwood accents and bevelled mercury glass plates.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut timber joinery on the backboards, natural wood shrinkage, original leaf gilding with red bole showing through wear, and subtle oxidisation on the glass plate.

Position the mirror centrally above a sideboard or console table to establish a dramatic focal point that harmonises rich historic timber tones with modern architectural elements.

Dust the wood frame gently using a dry microfibre cloth and apply specialised beeswax occasionally, avoiding moisture on the gilded trim or harsh glass cleaners near the frame.
