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.

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

An overmantel mirror, historically known in France as a chimney glass, is a mirror specifically proportioned and designed with a straight base rail to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece.

Traditional French gilt mirrors are crafted from carved wood coated with layers of gesso, sealed with clay bole, and finished with applied gold leaf alongside mirrored glass plates.

Authentic pieces feature signs of aged gilding where red or yellow bole shows through worn areas, hand-carved timber backings, and subtle distortions in early mirror glass.

Position the mirror above a fireplace or console table to establish a central focal point that juxtaposes ornate period detail against minimalist wall finishes.

Dust the frame regularly using a soft camel hair brush or dry feather duster, avoiding moisture, liquid cleansers, or chemical polishes which dissolve gesso and gold leaf.
