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

French Rococo mirrors originate from the early-to-mid 18th century Louis XV era and feature asymmetrical curves, elaborate C-scrolls, acanthus leaf carvings, and organic floral or lattice motifs executed in giltwood.

Traditional giltwood mirror frames were carved from hardwoods or lime wood, coated with layers of gesso plaster and clay bole, and finished with thin gold leaf applied using water gilding techniques before housing mirrored plate glass.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved wood frames showing structural joinery, visible reddish-clay bole beneath worn areas of gold leaf, and historical glass displaying slight oxidisation or grey spots near the edges.

Positioning an ornate Rococo giltwood mirror above a contemporary sideboard, fireplace mantel, or minimalist hallway console creates a stark visual contrast that balances classic craftsmanship with modern aesthetic lines.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft feather duster or clean dry brush, avoiding water, liquid detergents, or chemical solvents which dissolve the delicate underlying gesso and gold leaf.
