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

A Victorian archtop overmantel mirror is a wide wall-mounted mirror crafted during the 19th century, specifically designed with a curved upper arch to sit directly above a chimneypiece.

These mirror frames were typically constructed using a carved wood core surfaced with plaster or composition moulding, coated with red bole clay, and finished with gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit original timber backboards, natural age-related foxing on the glass plate, and areas of wear showing the underlying clay bole layer beneath the gold leaf.

An antique gilt mirror can be mounted above a contemporary fireplace or positioned on a chimney breast to anchor a living room, creating visual contrast against neutral paintwork.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding moisture, liquid cleaners, or abrasive materials that can dissolve or strip the water gilding.
