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.

Italian Rococo style, prominent during the 18th century and revived in the late 19th century, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, elaborate acanthus leaf carvings, floral cresting, and figurative elements such as cherubs or putti.

Craftsmen typically utilised fine hardwoods and fruitwoods such as cherry, pearwood, or walnut due to their tight grain, allowing for intricate hand-carving and smooth polished finishes.

Authentic late 19th and early 20th-century carved wooden mirrors show hand-tool marks on the reverse, original joint construction, natural wood patina, and signs of age within the timber grain and glass backing.

An ornate Rococo mirror acts as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantelpiece, in a hallway above a console table, or within an eclectic gallery wall alongside contemporary artwork.

Dust the intricate carvings regularly using a soft brush or microfibre cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood while avoiding harsh chemicals or excess moisture.
