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

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

19th-century French gilt mirrors typically feature timber frames coated in gesso and finished with thin gold leaf gilding, often characterized by rounded or arched upper corners and bead or floral frame mouldings.

Craftspeople carved a framework from timber, applied multiple layers of gesso plaster mixture to form crisp decorative mouldings, smoothed the surface with clay bole, and applied gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces display natural age-related wear, a reddish or dark clay bole base layer showing through rubbed areas of gold leaf, heavy timber backboards, and faint desilverisation or dark foxing specks within the original glass plate.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, position it over a hallway console table, or lean it against a focal wall to reflect natural light and create textural contrast against contemporary wall colours.

Dust the frame gently using a dry soft-bristled brush or microfibre duster, avoid applying water or liquid chemical polished to gesso areas, and clean glass surfaces by spraying cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
