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.

Originating in 19th-century France, Louis Philippe mirrors typically feature rounded upper corners, a straight bottom edge, and a clean or subtly decorated moulded frame finished in gilding or dark wood.

Authentic 19th-century French mirrors were constructed using carved wooden frames coated in a plaster-like gesso, which was subsequently hand-gilded with real gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often exhibit mercury glass silvering with slight oxidisation or foxing, reddish bole clay showing beneath worn gilding, and original pine or oak backing boards.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to increase visual height, reflect natural light, and introduce contrast against contemporary wall colours.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can dissolve traditional water gilding and ruin the underlying gesso.
