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

Georgian and Italianate mirrors from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are defined by heavily moulded or carved wooden frames featuring classical motifs, foliate scrolls, and water-gilded gold leaf finishes designed to maximize light reflection in period interiors.

Traditional giltwood frames were constructed from hand-carved timber overlaid with multiple coats of gesso, sealed with a coloured clay base known as bole, and finished with delicate gold leaf sheets that were burnished using agate tools.

Authentic period giltwood mirrors display signs of age such as fine surface cracking called craquelure in the gesso, subtle wear revealing the reddish clay bole beneath the gilding, hand-cut glass with mercury backing, and early timber backboards.

Positioning a circular giltwood mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantelpiece creates a striking focal point, introducing texture, warmth, and period character to modern interior schemes.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled painters brush or feather duster; liquid cleansers and damp cloths must be avoided as moisture dissolves historic gesso and loosens fragile gold leaf.
