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

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

Nineteenth-century French mirrors often feature elaborate hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf, incorporating classical motifs and ornate scrollwork typical of the period.

These pieces typically comprise a carved softwood or gesso-on-wood frame finished with gold leaf or gilding, holding a hand-silvered glass mirror plate secured with traditional wooden backing boards.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate construction details such as hand-cut joinery, genuine gold leaf with natural oxidisation, and heavy old glass plates showing subtle imperfections or foxing.

Placing a large antique mirror opposite a window maximises natural light, while positioning it above a contemporary sideboard creates a striking contrast between modern and historic design elements.

Gilt surfaces require very gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate gold leaf, and glass plates should be cleaned using a lint-free cloth with minimal moisture.
