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 overmantle mirrors are characterised by their generous proportions, heavy framing, and architectural influences spanning classical revival styles to ornate flourishes, specifically designed to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece.

These pieces typically feature a solid wooden frame constructed from pine or hardwood, finished with gesso and silver leaf, holding heavy float glass plates secured with timber backboards.

Authentic pieces often display foxing, minor oxidisation, and hand-beveled edges on the glass, alongside period-appropriate joinery, hand-applied gesso, and aged fixings on the rear wooden backing.

Positioning the mirror above a modern fireplace or leaning it against a living room wall adds verticality, reflects light, and creates a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and minimalist decor.

Maintain the piece by dusting the frame with a soft brush and cleaning the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild, ammonia-free solution, avoiding excessive moisture near the silvered leaf and backing.
