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 nineteenth century are characterised by moulded wooden frames finished with applied gold leaf over a gesso base, designed with clean linear profiles or elaborate crestings to reflect natural light within formal rooms.

The frames were typically crafted from solid timber, layered with a plaster-like gesso compound, coated in clay bole, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf applied using traditional water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces often exhibit subtle wear where the underlying reddish clay bole shows through the gold leaf, along with period-appropriate wood backboards, hand-moulded frame joinery, and natural oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Positioning a large rectangular mirror leaning against a neutral wall creates an elegant focal point, while hanging it opposite windows maximizes reflected ambient light and visually expands the room.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture and liquid polish which can dissolve traditional water gilding, and clean the glass using a lightly dampened cloth.
