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

Regency giltwood oval mirrors from the early nineteenth century typically feature Neoclassical proportions, delicate water gilding, and refined perimeter mouldings such as beading, gadrooning, or ribbon-and-stave carving.

Frames were carved from softwoods like pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso clay bole, and finished with thin gold leaf applied using water-gilding or oil-gilding methods.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural age wear to the gold leaf, showing dark red or grey gesso bole beneath, along with subtle dark ox-blood foxing or distortion on hand-blown mercury glass plates.

Miniature mirrors are effectively styled when hung in symmetrical pairs on narrow wall sections, incorporated into eclectic gallery wall clusters, or placed beside door frames to capture ambient light.

Water-gilded finishes are highly soluble in liquid; frames should be dusted gently with a soft dry camel-hair brush, avoiding wet cloths, chemical polish, or commercial glass cleaners near the gold leaf.
