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

Rococo Revival mirrors from the late 19th century feature ornate scrollwork, botanical motifs, and asymmetrical flourishes echoing 18th-century French decorative traditions.

Frames were typically carved from wood such as pine or lime, layered with moulded gesso plaster detailing, and finished with applied gold leaf over a clay bole base.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved joinery behind gesso layers, subtle wear or red bole showing through high points of the gilding, and original timber backing boards.

Positioning a matching pair symmetrically above bedside tables or flanking a hallway console introduces classical proportion while maximizing light reflection.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding moisture or liquid chemical cleaners that dissolve water-gilded gesso surfaces.
