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.

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

Mirrors from this period typically feature neoclassical motifs, carved giltwood frames, and proportions designed to enhance natural light in formal interiors.

Frames are generally constructed from carved timber, gesso, and gold leaf, holding silvered or mercury-backed glass plates secured with wooden backs.

Authenticity is indicated by foxed or mottled mercury glass, hand-carved wooden frames showing appropriate ageing, and construction methods consistent with nineteenth-century joinery.

Leaning a large antique mirror against a wall adds architectural interest and reflects light, creating a deliberate contrast between historic textures and contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass carefully with a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and protect the delicate gilt frame from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
