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

A 19th-century giltwood overmantel mirror features an ornate wooden frame coated in gesso and gold leaf, sculpted specifically to sit above a fireplace mantelpiece.

Craftsmen constructed the core structure from carved timber, applied layers of gessoa mixture of chalk and animal hide glueto mold relief details, and then water-gilded the surface using thin gold leaf sheets.

Authentic pieces feature dark red or grey bole clay showing through worn gold leaf, original silvered glass with natural oxidisation marks, and hand-sawn timber backboards with lap joints.

A large gilt mirror can be mounted directly above a fireplace, leaning against a plain painted wall as a floor-standing accent, or positioned opposite a window to maximise natural light.

Dust the frame using a dry, soft-bristled artist brush; water and liquid cleaners must be avoided as moisture dissolves the water-soluble gesso base beneath the gold leaf.
