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.

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

Florentine mirrors originated in Florence, Italy, during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, recognised for their hand-carved foliage, openwork scrollwork, and gold leaf gilding.

Traditional construction involves carved wood, often softened with layers of gesso plaster, coated in red bole, and finished with applied gold leaf alongside mirrored glass panels.

Look for carved wood joints on the reverse, signs of water gilding where the underlying reddish clay shows through light wear, and age-consistent oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Mount the mirror above a clean-lined console table or mantelpiece to contrast ornate metallic carving against contemporary neutral walls and simple architectural lines.

Dust the detailed carving gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture or chemical cleaners which dissolve delicate gesso and leaf finishes.
