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.
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.
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.

Designed specifically to sit above a fireplace hearth, 19th-century overmantel mirrors feature decorative carved crestings and gilded gesso frames crafted to reflect light across formal reception rooms.

Frames were typically carved from timber and coated with layers of gesso before fine sheets of gold leaf were applied using water or oil gilding techniques around glass mirror plates.

Authentic period gilding displays natural wear patterns, red or yellow clay bole showing through rubbed areas, alongside historic foxing and minor oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Position the mirror directly above a living room fireplace or mount it above a hallway console table to add visual scale, enhance natural daylight, and anchor the room focus.

Dust the frame periodically using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid polish or water which can degrade historic gesso layers and damage gold leaf application.
