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.

Victorian gilt picture frames are defined by their elaborate, ornate mouldings, frequently featuring Rococo Revival motifs such as acanthus leaves, floral swags, and exaggerated corner cartouches popular during the nineteenth century.

These frames were typically constructed using pine or hardwood profiles overlaid with composition, or gesso, to form detailed relief patterns, which were subsequently finished with water or oil gilding using thin gold leaf.

Authentic pieces generally display age-consistent wear, subtle cracking or craquelure across the gesso layer, evidence of hand-carved wood sub-structures, red or grey clay bole undercoats beneath worn gilding, and historical hanging hardware.

A detailed gilt frame creates visual impact when mounted against dark wall paints, displayed as an empty sculptural element, or fitted with a contemporary mirror plate within a mixed gallery wall arrangement.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or chemical polishes, as moisture can dissolve the underlying gesso and cause delicate gold leaf to lift or flake.
