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

Nineteenth-century French Louis Philippe mirrors typically feature a rectangular form with softly rounded upper corners and a clean silhouette. They frequently incorporate gilded wood frames decorated with subtle motifs such as beaded borders or incised geometric patterns.

These mirrors were crafted using carved wood, typically pine or oak, coated with layers of gesso and finished with thin gold leaf. The reflective surface traditionally utilised mercury glass, which produces a characteristic subtle depth and foxing over time.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often exhibit hand-carved wood joining, natural foxing or dark speckling on the mirror plate, and authentic wear to the gold leaf showing reddish bole underneath. Additionally, the backboards are usually heavy, hand-sawn wooden panels rather than modern composite boards.

A French giltwood mirror can serve as a focal point placed above a fireplace mantel, console table, or dining room sideboard. Its classic gilding introduces warmth and texture when juxtaposed against minimalist modern walls or contemporary architectural details.

Clean the glass carefully using a lightly dampened lint-free cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or excess moisture that could seep behind the frame. Dust the delicate gilding gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre duster, refraining from liquid cleaners that can strip gilding and gesso.
