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 gilt mirrors from the late nineteenth century typically feature ornate wood and gesso frames decorated with gold leaf, often incorporating Rococo or Louis XV motifs such as C-scrolls, acanthus leaves, and prominent central crestings.

Frames were constructed from carved timber coated with gesso, followed by a layer of coloured clay called bole, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf applied using traditional water-gilding techniques alongside mirrored glass plates.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit layered backboards, subtle wear to the gold leaf showing the red or yellow bole beneath, natural oxidisation on the mirror plate, and slight hand-carving irregularities rather than uniform modern mouldings.

These mirrors can be mounted above a fireplace mantle, positioned over a dining room sideboard, or safely leaned against a focal wall to create an illusion of depth and light in contemporary spaces.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or clean camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, damp cloths, or commercial sprays which can dissolve water gilding and damage delicate gesso detail.
