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

A 19th-century French gilt mirror typically features a hand-carved wood frame covered in gesso plaster and finished with gold leaf, often incorporating arched tops, floral crestings, and beaded moulding.

These mirrors were constructed using timber backings and carved frames layered with gesso, coated in clay bole, and finished with real gold leaf. The reflective glass panels often contained silver or mercury amalgam.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural wear on the gold leaf, revealing red or grey clay bole beneath, along with original hand-sawn backboards, square-headed iron nails, and light foxing on the glass.

A French gilt mirror can be placed above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table, where its gold frame contrasts against modern neutral walls while amplifying light across the room.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry soft brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical polishes that erode gold leaf and gesso. Clean the glass by applying cleaner directly to a cloth rather than spraying the mirror.
