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.

French Empire style mirrors, emerging during the early 19th century, feature neoclassical architectural proportions, straight structural lines, and decorative classical motifs such as wreaths, profile medallions, and pilasters.

Frames were constructed primarily from solid timber coated in gesso, embellished with hand-carved wood or molded composition relief elements, and finished with paint or gilding alongside glass mirror panes.

Authentic period examples typically display hand-planed timber backboards, mortise and tenon frame joinery, original reflective glass showing natural oxidisation or foxing, and authentic age-related wear to the painted surface.

Positioning a large architectural mirror above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or hallway console table creates a structural focal point while enhancing natural light distribution across contemporary living spaces.

Clean the frame by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or chemical solvents on the painted finish, and clean the reflective glass separately using a lightly dampened cloth.
