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

Italian giltwood mirrors from the mid-19th century frequently draw inspiration from Baroque and Rococo designs, featuring deeply undercut wood carvings, elaborate botanical scrolls, and multi-layered gesso foundations finished with real gold leaf.

Carvers sculpted the primary form out of timber before applying multiple coats of gesso, a plaster-like smooth base. Red or yellow bole clay was then applied to create warmth before thin leaves of gold were laid over the surface using water-gilding or oil-gilding techniques.

Authentic period gilding displays natural wear patterns where the underlying red or yellow bole clay shows through high points, accompanied by subtle wood joint movement lines and natural dust accumulation in carved crevices.

Position a large gilded mirror opposite a light source or window in a hallway, living space, or dressing area to maximise ambient light and introduce historic texture against clean architectural lines.

Remove surface dust exclusively with a soft, dry feather duster or gentle artist brush. Avoid liquid cleaning agents or damp cloths, as moisture dissolves the water-soluble gesso ground beneath the delicate gold leaf.
