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.

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

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any liquid cleaners, chemical sprays, or abrasive cloths which can damage the fragile gold leaf and aged ebonised finish.

Pairing the classical structure of the mirror with minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point above a fireplace or console.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-specific construction markers such as hand-bevelled or mercury-silvered glass plates, old timber backing boards with hand-cut screws, and signs of natural oxidation and wear.

Craftsmen typically used woods like pine or gesso-coated substrates, staining or painting them black to imitate expensive ebony, then applying thin sheets of gold leaf to highlighted carved details.

The Adam style originated in the 18th century, popularised by the Adam brothers who drew inspiration from classical Roman architecture, incorporating delicate symmetry, urns, swags, and neo-classical motifs.
