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.

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

Florentine mirrors originate from Florence, Italy, and are distinguished by intricately carved wooden frames, often featuring acanthus leaves, open scrollwork, and gold leaf gilding.

Traditional pieces were hand-carved from solid timber, coated with gesso plaster layers, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf applied over a bole clay substrate.

Authentic examples display hand-carved wood grain and tool marks rather than moulded resin or plaster, accompanied by light gilding wear and historic timber joinery on the back.

Positioning a Florentine giltwood mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace creates a balanced textural contrast between ornate historic craftsmanship and clean modern lines.

Dust the carved ornament gently with a soft dry camel hair brush or feather duster, avoiding water, spray cleaners, and liquid polishes that can strip delicate water gilding.
