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.

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

Victorian Rococo Revival mirrors from the mid-to-late 19th century are characterised by ornate scrollwork, cresting finials, oval shapes, and elaborate leaf motifs inspired by 18th-century French design.

Frames were typically constructed from pine carved by hand or fitted with molded composition detailing, then coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf applied over a coloured clay base.

Authentic period gilding exhibits subtle wear where the red or yellow clay bole shows through the gold leaf, along with natural oxidisation, slight surface cracking in the gesso, and original mirror glass backing.

Positioning an ornate gilded mirror above a fireplace or console table provides a focal point that contrasts structured modern lines with historical decorative detail.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted lightly using a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or water that dissolve traditional water gilding and damage underlying gesso.
