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

Florentine style mirrors originated in Florence, Italy, characterised by intricate hand-carved foliage, acanthus leaves, and openwork scroll details finished with gilding.

Traditional pieces feature a carved wooden base frame covered with gesso, a plaster mixture, which is smoothed before applying fine gold leaf over a clay bole background.

Authentic items display subtle cracking in the gesso known as craquelure, natural wear revealing the red clay bole beneath the leafing, and traditional joinery on the backboard.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantle to create a focal point, pairing ornate historic gilding with clean architectural lines.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster; avoid water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths, as moisture dissolves gesso and strips delicate gold leaf.
