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.

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

Neoclassical gilt mirrors from the late 19th century draw inspiration from classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical proportions, architectural crestings, classical urns, foliage swags, and beaded edge mouldings applied to a gilded timber or composition frame.

These mirrors were constructed using timber sub-frames overlaid with composition (compo) detail for intricate ornaments, covered in red or yellow bole clay, and finished with thin layers of genuine gold leaf applied via water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces display natural age signs such as micro-craquelure in the gesso, light wear exposing the underlying clay bole on raised edges, silvering oxidisation or light foxing on the glass mirror back, and hand-cut timber backing boards.

Positioning a gilt mirror above a clean-lined mantelpiece, console table, or hallway bench provides architectural structure and metallic contrast against modern paint finishes, drawing light across the room.

Gilt frames should only be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Water, chemical solvents, and liquid cleaners must be avoided as they dissolve water-gilded gesso and strip gold leaf.
