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

Rococo Revival giltwood mirrors are mid-to-late nineteenth-century decorative pieces inspired by eighteenth-century French Rococo design, characterised by asymmetric scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and gilded timber frames.

These frames were constructed from hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods coated with gesso, followed by layers of clay bole and thin sheets of gold leaf, housing hand-blown silvered glass plates.

Authentic period gilding typically displays natural wear showing the reddish or grey clay bole beneath, subtle cracks along joinery lines in the wood, and slight dark oxidisation spots on early glass plates.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or a hallway console table to serve as a central focal point, combining historical texture with contemporary decor.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that degrade gold leaf, and clean the glass plate using a damp cloth applied carefully away from the frame edges.
