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.

A cushion frame mirror features a convex, rounded profile that projects outward from the wall, creating depth and shadow. Popular from the seventeenth through the early twentieth century, these frames often feature hand-carved detailing, gesso layerings, and water gilding.

Traditional gilt cushion frames were constructed using a softwood or hardwood core, carved detailing, and layered gesso plaster. The surface was finished with red or yellow clay bole followed by delicate gold leaf application.

Authentic period frames typically exhibit natural oxidisation, slight wear revealing the underlying reddish clay bole, and signs of hand-carved joinery on the reverse. Modern reproductions often use synthetic resins, uniform gold spray paint, and machine-cut backing boards.

Designers frequently position large gilt mirrors above minimalist consoles or fireplaces to create textural contrast against clean modern walls. Leaning or mounting a gilded mirror in an entryway or living room reflects light while adding period depth to contemporary schemes.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth without applying water or chemical cleaners, as water can dissolve traditional gesso and gold leaf. Clean the mirror glass carefully using a damp cloth, ensuring liquid does not seep under the inner frame edges.
