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

Originating as functional studio tools, decorative French gilt easels evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries into elaborate presentation stands designed to showcase fine art within grand salons and private galleries.

These pieces are typically carved from timber, coated with layers of gesso, and finished using water or oil gilding with gold leaf. Functional components include carved pegs or adjustable ratchets to hold artwork safely at varying heights.

Authentic examples display genuine age-related wear to the gilding, often revealing the red or grey bole undercoat beneath, alongside hand-carved joinery, pegged supports, and natural patination on unvarnished rear surfaces.

A gilt easel serves as a focal point in a living area, hallway, or foyer when supporting framed oil paintings, antique mirrors, or modern photography, creating a textured contrast against neutral walls.

Preserve gilt surfaces by dusting gently with a soft, dry feather duster or natural brush. Avoid moisture, liquid cleaners, and abrasive polishes, as water can dissolve the underlying gesso and lift delicate gold leafing.
