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 and Baroque giltwood mirrors feature highly elaborate frames decorated with asymmetrical curves, acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and shell motifs. Popularised in 18th-century Europe, these designs were engineered to catch and amplify candlelight across formal reception rooms.

Traditional frames are constructed from carved timber, often softwoods like pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso plaster. Gold leaf is subsequently applied over a coloured clay base known as bole before being burnished.

Authentic period examples feature carved timber foundations rather than modern moulded resin, visible wood jointing on the backboard, and natural hairline cracking within the gesso layer known as craquelure. The mirrored glass may also show subtle oxidation or dark spotting near the edges.

An ornate gilded mirror serves as a focal point above a contemporary sideboard or fireplace mantelpiece. The detailed gold frame provides a warm, tactile contrast against minimalist plaster walls or dark paint schemes.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding wet cloths which can dissolve water-gilded finish layers. Glass cleaner should be sprayed onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame edge.
