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.

A girandole mirror is a decorative wall mirror fitted with integrated candle sconces, designed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reflect light throughout a room.

These mirrors were constructed using carved wood, moulded gesso detail, thin layers of gold leaf gilding, and silvered mirror glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age-related wear to the gold leaf, revealing red or grey bole underlay, along with historic wire fastenings and slight oxidisation on the glass surface.

Positioning the mirror above a dining room sideboard, hallway console, or fireplace mantelpiece creates a focal point that enhances natural illumination.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry soft brush, avoiding water or liquid cleansers that can dissolve water-gilded surfaces or damage delicate gesso.
