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

Mirrors from this period typically feature hand-carved timber frames finished with gold leaf application, often incorporating elaborate Rococo or Neo-Classical motifs such as C-scrolls, foliage, and cresting.

Frames were primarily sculpted from pine or lime wood, coated with gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces display mercury glass silvering with subtle foxing, hand-carved backboards held by wrought iron nails, and natural surface wear showing red or grey bole beneath the gilding.

Positioning a substantial gilded frame above a fireplace mantel or console table creates a focal point that reflects light and brings architectural texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust gentle carving details using a soft dry brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or damp cloths which can dissolve the water-gilded gesso underlying the surface.
