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

Emerging in late nineteenth-century France, Napoleon III style incorporates revived Neoclassical, Louis XVI, and Baroque design elements, frequently characterised by top crestings, floral swags, and classical urn motifs.

These frames are typically constructed from carved timber or moulded gesso applied over a wood base, which is then finished with oil or water gilding using thin gold leaf.

Authentic gilding displays subtle surface wear revealing the underlying red or grey clay bole, alongside light natural oxidisation and visible overlap lines from the gold leaf application.

A gilded mirror serves as a focal point when placed above a contemporary fireplace, console table, or hallway runner, balancing modern linear architecture with classical architectural detailing.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, taking care to avoid liquid polishes or solvents that dissolve gesso and gold leaf finishes.
