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

Emerging in the early 18th century, Queen Anne style Chinoiserie mirrors feature arched or contoured crestings, often decorated with lacquered or japanned figures, landscapes, and East Asian-inspired motifs popularised by European trade with the Far East.

These frames were constructed using solid timber foundations coated in gesso and built up with layers of dark or coloured lacquer, known as japanning, then hand-painted or gilded with gold leaf and metallic pigments.

Authentic early 18th-century examples display hand-cut joinery on backboards, natural craquelure across raised lacquerwork, uneven silvering or mercury backing on original mirror glass, and subtle wear to gilded areas.

Hang or lean the mirror in a hallway above a console table or position it on a narrow wall space to act as a focal point that reflects light and adds narrative texture alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust the lacquered wood frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, avoiding water or chemical polishes, and clean the glass separately by applying glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than spraying the frame.
