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

Victorian overmantel mirrors typically feature an arched upper frame designed specifically to sit directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, serving as a architectural focal point in period reception rooms.

These frames were constructed from pine or lime wood covered in plaster or gesso composition moulding, and subsequently finished with applied gold leaf gilding.

Original pieces often exhibit subtle wear down to the red or grey bole layer beneath the gold leaf, along with mercury or silver-backed glass showing natural foxing and age spots.

In contemporary interiors, placing a large gilded mirror above a simplified fireplace or modern console table creates visual contrast, maximizing light refraction and spatial depth.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent disturbing loose gesso or leaf, and clean the glass with a lightly damp cloth without letting liquid enter the frame joints.
