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.

Victorian gilt mirrors feature carved wood or gesso frames coated in thin layers of gold leaf, often styled with Classical elements, ball embellishments, or botanical motifs. Designed throughout the 19th century, these pieces were created to enhance reflection and natural light in period interiors.

These frames were typically built using a softwood frame, such as pine or lime, coated with gessoa mixture of chalk and animal glue. Gold leaf was subsequently laid over a red or yellow clay base known as bole before being selectively burnished.

Authentic period gilt mirrors demonstrate age-appropriate surface wear, including fine hairline cracking in the gesso known as craquelure and dark oxidisation spots on the mirror glass. The reverse generally features hand-sawn pine backing boards rather than modern staples or plywood.

A Victorian gilt mirror functions as a focal point above a contemporary hallway console table, a bedroom mantelpiece, or alongside modern artwork. The warm metallic finish creates texture and depth when paired with matte wall paint and minimalist furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry microfibre cloth or soft feather duster. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or water directly on the frame, as moisture dissolves water-soluble gesso and damages fragile gold leaf.
