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

Characterised by Neoclassical symmetry and restraint, these mirrors feature arched tops, ribbon cresting, beaded borders, and delicate floral garlands, reflecting late nineteenth and early twentieth-century French design influences.

Frames were typically constructed from softwood base timber coated in molded composition or gesso, which was then gilded using thin gold leaf applied over a coloured clay bole base.

Authentic pieces display subtle silvering degradation known as foxing, wooden backboards, layered gesso construction beneath gilding, and gentle rubbing wear on raised decorative high points.

Positioned above a fireplace hearth, console table, or dining room sideboard, the reflective surface amplifies natural light while creating a structured focal point against contemporary plaster or wallpaper.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding water, liquid polishes, or chemical detergents that strip gold leaf and soften historical gesso.
