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

Mirrors from this era often feature Rococo and Baroque influences, incorporating ornate shell cresting, carved floral garlands, and egg-and-dart inner borders applied over a timber and composition frame.

Frames were constructed from carved wood layers coated with plaster or gesso, detailed with moulded composition embellishments, and layered with thin gold leaf applied over a clay base known as bole.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit age-appropriate oxidisation on the original glass, slight wear showing the reddish clay bole underneath the gold leaf, and structural wire supports for delicate carved motifs.

Positioning a large oval mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or a contemporary sideboard creates visual balance, drawing natural light into the room while acting as a prominent decorative focal point.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster; water and liquid polish should be avoided as they dissolve water-gilded surfaces and damage the underlying gesso moulding.
