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.

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

Oval gilt mirrors from the 19th century typically draw design inspiration from Neoclassical and Louis XVI styles, featuring carved wooden frames coated in gesso and leaf gilding. Common ornamentation includes top crests such as ribbon bows, floral garlands, or urn motifs.

Traditional gilt mirrors are crafted using carved timber frames overlaid with gesso, a plaster-like base, which is then gilded with genuine gold leaf. The reflective glass in earlier 19th-century examples often features silvered or mercury backings mounted onto solid wooden backboards.

Authentic period pieces often show natural age-related wear, such as subtle cracking in the gesso surface known as craquelure, reddish bole clay visible beneath worn gilding, dark spots or foxing in the mirror glass, and hand-cut pine or oak backing boards.

An oval gilt mirror works effectively as a focal point positioned above a fireplace mantel or positioned over a hallway console table. The metallic finish adds warmth and light, pairing well with both modern minimalist backdrop walls and period features.

Clean giltwood frames using only a soft dry brush or microfibre duster to prevent flaking the gold leaf. Avoid liquid sprays, chemical cleaners, or water, as moisture breaks down gesso and damages historical gilding.
