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

Characterised by detailed naturalistic carvings, Rococo Revival giltwood mirrors from the 19th century feature ornate scrolling foliage, botanical motifs, and grape clusters integrated into oval or rectangular frames.

Frames were sculpted from timber like lime or pine, coated with a gesso base, and finished with gold leaf applied using traditional water gilding over silvered glass plates.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved wooden construction rather than molded resin, visible reddish clay bole underneath worn gilding, original timber backing boards, and minor oxidisation spots on the glass.

Position them symmetrically flanking a central feature, such as above a hallway sideboard or flanking a fireplace, to introduce warm metallic tones and texture against contemporary wall colours.

Dust delicate carved surfaces gently with a soft artist brush, avoiding water, spray cleaners, or abrasives that can degrade the water-soluble gesso layer and lift the leaf.
