Archival Detail
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.

Louis XVI style mirrors are characterised by Neoclassical proportions, featuring symmetry, straight lines, and classical motifs such as urns, cherubs, floral garlands, and acanthus leaves.

These mirrors were typically crafted from carved timber or moulded plaster over pine frames, finished with oil or water gilding using gold leaf, and fitted with bevelled glass.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often display subtle oxidation or distressing on the mirror plate, red bole showing through worn gold leaf gilding, and hand-cut joinery on the timber backing.

Positioning a French gilt mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or contemporary sideboard creates a focal point, reflecting natural light and bridging traditional heritage with minimalist decor.

Avoid using liquid cleansers or water on gilded areas; dusting should be performed gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry artists brush to protect fragile gold leaf.
