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

Irish mirrors from this period are traditionally recognised by their moulded oval frames incorporating alternating bands of ebonised wood, silver or gold leaf gilding, and hand-set faceted glass studs or cabochons.

These mirrors were constructed using carved wood foundations, ebonised paint finishes, metallic leaf gilding, reflective silvered glass plate, and embedded cut-glass or crystal cabochons.

Authenticity can be evaluated by examining the timber backing, natural wear to the leaf gilding showing the underlying bole, individual hand-set glass studs, and age-appropriate silvering oxidation on the mirror plate.

This mirror profile functions effectively as a focal point positioned above a mantelpiece, sideboard, or hallway console table, offering historical contrast against neutral modern wall surfaces.

Maintain the frame by gently dusting with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive cleaners near the gilding and glass studs.
