Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

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.
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.
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.

Regency Revival mirrors, produced during the late 19th century, draw direct influence from early 19th-century Neoclassical design, incorporating prominent eagle crestings, moulded ball embellishments, and dark ebonised slips.

These pieces were typically constructed from carved pine or softwood bases coated with layers of gesso, decorated with moulded composition ornament, and finished with gold leaf gilding alongside mirrored glass.

Authentic period examples exhibit subtle oxidisation or foxing on the glass silvering, slight cracking across gesso joins, hand-cut rear timber boards, and natural tonal wear where gold leaf reveals reddish bole underneath.

A large giltwood mirror functions as a focal architectural accent when mounted directly above a fireplace mantelpiece, over a hallway console table, or positioned to catch natural light in a dining room.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, ultra-soft brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture, liquid polish, or chemical solvents that strip water-gilded gold leaf from fragile gesso layers.
