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.
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.
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.

19th-century French gilt mirrors often feature rounded upper corners, moulded frames, and decorative crestings such as rocaille shells, acanthus leaves, or floral cartouches typical of the Louis Philippe and Napoleon III eras.

These mirrors are typically constructed with a wood frame, layered with gesso plaster, and finished with gold leaf applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces generally display subtle wear to the gold leaf revealing red or grey bole underneath, period-appropriate timber backing boards, and hand-carved wood or moulded gesso details rather than modern cast resin.

A large gilded mirror works well placed above a fireplace mantel, mounted above a console table in a hallway, or leaned against a neutral wall to introduce warm metallic tones and architectural interest.

Dust the gilded surface gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or liquid polishes which can dissolve gesso and strip gold leaf.
