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

Mid-19th century Rococo Revival gilt mirrors feature elaborate floral scrollwork, shell cresting, and fluid C-scroll motifs inspired by 18th-century French court designs.

These frames were carved from wood such as pine or lime, layered with plaster or gesso for detailed relief work, and finished by applying gold leaf via water-gilding or oil-gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved wooden elements, dark red or grey bole beneath areas of naturally worn gilding, historic pine backing boards, and light foxing on the glass.

Position a gilt wall mirror above a clean-lined modern console table or fireplace mantelpiece to create visual contrast between classical ornamentation and contemporary design.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, keeping liquid cleaners away from the frame as moisture dissolves water gilding and damages the underlying gesso.
