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

Italian gilt wood mirrors are recognised for their intricate carved timber frames finished with thin layers of gold leaf over gesso, frequently incorporating sculpted scrolls, vine cresting, and organic motifs.

Craftspeople sculpted the frame profile from wood such as pine or lime, applied multiple coatings of gesso and coloured clay bole, and laid gold leaf over the surface before hand-burnishing targeted areas.

Authentic pieces feature visible hand-carving marks on the frame, genuine wood construction on the reverse, subtle showing of the reddish bole layer beneath worn gilding, and period-appropriate oxidation on the glass.

Position the mirror centrally above a sleek console table or fireplace mantelpiece to establish a focal point that juxtaposes historical detailed craft against clean contemporary lines.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft bristle brush, keeping water, solvents, and liquid glass cleaners away from the surface to prevent damage to the gesso and gold leaf layer.
