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

A silver gilt gesso frame features a timber core coated in a chalk and glue plaster mixture, known as gesso, which is moulded into detailed patterns before being overlaid with thin silver leafing.

Traditional construction involves a softwood or hardwood substrate, natural animal hide glue mixed with chalk to form gesso, clay bole, and genuine silver leaf.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit subtle surface cracking known as craquelure, minor loss of gesso revealing the underlying clay bole or wood, and traditional mitred corner joinery on the reverse.

A silver gilt frame can house contemporary abstract art, period portraiture, or a mirrored plate to serve as a focal point against muted wall paint.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or solvents that dissolve gesso and cause metallic leaf oxidisation.
