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

During the 19th century, gilt mirrors were prominent decorative features in formal reception rooms, created using water-gilding techniques over hand-carved wood and gesso to reflect light before electric illumination became widespread.

These frames were typically crafted from softwood or lime wood, covered with layers of gesso plaster, and finished with fine leaf gold over red or yellow bole clay before insertion of silvered glass plate.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible signs of age such as natural wear revealing the underlying gesso or bole, hand-carved backboard construction, and faint foxing or slight distortion in the original plate glass.

Placing a gilt mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or hallway sideboard creates a strong focal point that draws light and provides visual contrast within contemporary decor schemes.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners which dissolve original water-gilding, and wipe the glass carefully with a dry microfibre cloth.
