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.
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.
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.

Louis Philippe mirrors emerged during 19th-century France and are characterised by clean lines, rounded upper shoulders, squared base corners, and subtle decorative accents like beadwork or etched motifs.

These frames were typically carved from wood, covered in layers of gesso plaster, coated with coloured clay bole, and layered with delicate silver leaf sheets that were burnished to a soft shine.

Authentic examples often display natural oxidisation of the silver leaf, gentle show-through of the underlying clay bole layer, original mirror glass showing slight foxing, and original wooden backboards.

Place the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or atop a dining room sideboard to reflect ambient light, add vertical height, and create a focal point that complements contemporary furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame lightly using a dry, soft feather duster or lint-free microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding liquid cleaning solutions or abrasives that could remove fragile leafing.
