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.

This George II period overmantel mirror is made of warm brown mahogany and gold parcel gilt wood with three glass plates. The long horizontal frame displays a cross-grain moulded timber border, re-entrant corners at the top, and a carved parcel gilt inner decorative edging. The glass plate components consist of one central rectangular looking glass flanked by two narrower side panels. Measuring 29 cm high, 91 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep, this item is scaled for domestic use in an English country house style interior. It functions as a wall-mounted decorative fixture positioned above the mantel in a living room, drawing room, or hallway.

FAQs

George II mirrors from the mid-18th century often feature architectural proportions, dark woods such as mahogany, and parcel gilt detailing along the inner sight edge or cresting.

These mirrors were typically constructed from a solid pine or oak core veneered in dense Cuban mahogany, fitted with mercury-gilded wood details and hand-blown glass plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn backboards, original mercury glass with subtle silvering degradation, unpainted rear timber showing historic oxidisation, and hand-carved gilt mouldings.

Positioning the mirror above a chimney breast or long dining room sideboard balances room proportions and reflects natural light across neutral or contemporary scheme walls.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical polish on water-gilded surfaces to prevent lifting the gold leaf.
