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

Pioneered by the Adam brothers in the 18th century, this Neoclassical style draws upon Roman and Greek motifs. Common features include symmetrical proportions, urn crestings, husk garlands, rosettes, and mythical creatures such as griffins.

Frames from this era were typically constructed from carved timber coated with gesso, a plaster-like compound used to mold intricate details. Fine leaf gold was then applied over the gesso, housing a silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit subtle wear to the gilding where the red or grey clay bole beneath becomes visible. The backboard construction often displays pine panelling with age-related shrinkage or oxidised iron fixings.

Placing an ornate mirror above a minimal marble fireplace or contemporary console table creates a balanced contrast. The gold finish acts as a focal point, reflecting natural light across opposite walls.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent chipping delicate gesso details. Avoid applying water or chemical liquids, as moisture dissolves water-gilding and damages underlying timber.
