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.
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.
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.

Mirrors produced in 19th-century France often drew inspiration from Rococo, Louis XV, and Neoclassical designs. They feature ornate scrollwork, foliage crestings, and timber frames layered with sculpted gesso and leaf gilding.

Frames were typically constructed from softwood timber or oak, coated with hand-moulded gesso, and finished using water-gilding techniques with gold or silver leaf. The mirror plates comprised silvered glass or mercury glass set into backboards.

Authentic pieces generally display original pine or oak backboards held by square-headed nails, natural craquelure across the gesso surface, and gentle oxidisation or foxing beneath the glass plate.

A large French carved mirror can be positioned above a fireplace mantel, mounted on a focal wall, or rested on a console table to reflect light and create depth within modern rooms.

Dust the detailed gesso carving lightly with a soft, dry brush to prevent snagging. Clean the mirror glass using a cloth dampened slightly with water, avoiding chemical sprays on the gilded wood frame.
