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

Originating in 18th-century France, these pieces feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf gilding, designed primarily for formal salons and reception rooms.

Frames are typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with gold leaf applied over a gesso base layer, and upholstered in woven textiles like damask, silk, or velvet.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved joinery, subtle surface wear revealing underlying clay bole beneath the gilding, and traditional horsehair or spring upholstery construction.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway, dressing room, or living area, pairing the elaborate gilded frame with muted contemporary walls and minimalist decor.

Dust the carved gilded frame gently using a soft dry brush to preserve delicate gold leaf, and maintain the fabric upholstery with low-suction vacuum attachments.
