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.

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

Originating from Florence, Italy, these mirrors feature intricate hand-carved wood frames adorned with openwork scrollwork, foliage motifs, and traditional gold leaf application inspired by Baroque and Rococo designs.

The frames were hand-carved from lightweight woods such as pine or lime, coated with a clay bole base, gilded with genuine gold leaf, and fitted with bevelled glass plates.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-carving marks on the rear timber frame, natural wear or oxidisation to the gold leaf revealing the reddish bole beneath, and heavy bevelled glass consistent with period manufacturing.

A giltwood mirror functions as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantel, console table, or hallway sideboard, creating contrast against minimal contemporary walls.

Dust the hand-carved frame gently with a dry soft feather duster or soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or commercial polishes that can degrade the gold leaf coating.
