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.

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.

During the 19th century, gilt mirrors were constructed using hand-carved wood or moulded gesso applied over pine frames, finished with thin layers of genuine gold leaf laid over a clay bole base.

These pieces typically feature a softwood structure coated in gessoa mixture of chalk and animal gluewhich is then water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf and fitted with mirrored glass.

Authentic period examples often exhibit red or yellow clay bole visible beneath natural wear to the gilding, hand-cut silvered glass with light oxidisation spots, and hand-sawn timber backing boards.

An oval gilt mirror creates contrast above a straight-lined contemporary sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table, reflecting natural light while introducing warm metallic tones to the room.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush or feather duster, avoiding water, spray cleaners, or damp cloths that can soften the water-soluble gesso and strip the gold leaf.
