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. 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.

Secure Transit

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

Neoclassical mirrors from the 18th century typically feature symmetrical oval or rectangular frames decorated with motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity, such as urns, floral swags, husks, and foliate scrolls.

These frames were carved from softwoods like pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso and red or yellow bole, and finished with thin sheets of water-gilded gold leaf. The mercury-silvered glass produced a characteristic soft, muted reflection.

Authentic period gilding displays natural surface wear where the underlying bole shows through the gold leaf. Original mirror plate typically exhibits slight optical distortion, foxing, and dark spots caused by the oxidation of the mercury backing.

Positioning a giltwood mirror above a clean-lined console table or modern mantelpiece creates a balanced visual contrast between classical carved detailing and contemporary architecture.

Giltwood frames must be dusted gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush. Avoid water, damp cloths, and chemical solvents, as moisture dissolves water-gesso substrates and strips fragile gold leaf.
