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 giltwood mirrors feature carved timber frameworks coated with gesso and layered with gold leaf. Their design typically incorporates classical architectural mouldings, ribbed profiles, and elaborate border motifs reflective of nineteenth-century decorative preferences.

These frames are constructed from a carved wooden substrate, usually pine or lime wood, layered with chalk-based gesso and bole. Thin sheets of gold leaf are then applied and burnished to create the gilded finish surrounding the glass pane.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery on the wooden backboard, subtle cracking or craquelure within the gesso, and uneven wear on high points revealing the underlying reddish bole layer beneath the gilding.

A Victorian gilt mirror can be placed above a contemporary fireplace or console table to create visual contrast. The gold tone complements both neutral plaster walls and rich, dark painted backdrops.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid lifting delicate gold leaf. Water and chemical solvents must be avoided, as moisture dissolves water-gilded gesso bases.
