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

Louis XV mirrors, originating in 18th-century France, are defined by Rococo design elements including asymmetrical curves, C-scrolls, floral motifs, and shell-shaped crestings known as rocaille.

Craftspeople sculpted hand-carved timber frames, coated them with layers of gesso plaster, and applied thin sheets of gold leaf, often burnishing high points and using red bole undercoats.

Authentic period examples typically display mercury-silvered glass with natural oxidisation, hand-carved timber backing boards, subtle seam lines in the gold leaf, and wear revealing underlying gesso.

Hanging a giltwood mirror above a contemporary sideboard or clean-lined fireplace mantle creates visual contrast, combining ornate historic textures with modern architectural lines.

Dust the carved gesso and gold leaf gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or liquid glass cleaners that can dissolve traditional water gilding.
