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.

An antique English 19th-century Rococo Revival overmantel mirror stands in the 1870 period, formed from wood, gesso, glass, and paint with an off-white colour. The structural frame includes a shaped top cresting, curved shoulders, and scrolled feet at the base. Deep sculptural carving decorates the perimeter with prominent acanthus leaves and C-scrolls, finished with a heavily textured, distressed painted surface that shows visible weathering, chipped paint, and aged patina across the decorative mouldings. The mirror plate is set within the substantial wooden frame alongside original backboards. Measuring 171 cm high, 147 cm wide, and 9 cm deep, this substantial architectural piece occupies a vertical wall space. Positioned above a fireplace mantel in a living room, drawing room, or hallway, the mirror reflects interior light and adds period character to a residential setting.

FAQs

Designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, 19th-century overmantel mirrors feature wide architectural frames adorned with ornate Rococo or Neoclassical carvings to reflect light throughout the room.

Frames from this era were typically constructed from carved timber, often layered with gesso or plaster moulding before being painted, gilded, or finished with decorative washes.

Authentic period pieces often feature subtle hand-carving irregularities, natural foxing or dark spotting on the mirror plate, and historical backboard joinery.

Positioning a large overmantel mirror above a hearth or console table creates a focal point, pairing historical texture with clean modern architectural lines.

Dust the frame using a soft dry brush or microfibre duster to protect delicate painted gesso, and clean the glass plate carefully without allowing liquid to seep onto the frame.
