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.

Mid-Victorian gilt mirrors, popular from the mid-19th century, feature oval or rounded frames crafted from carved wood or moulded composition, finished with gold leaf gilding and classical decorative motifs.

These frames typically consist of a solid timber structure faced with gesso plaster and carved detailing, which is then covered in thin layers of gold leaf.

Authentic period pieces often feature bevelled mirror plates, natural crazing to the gesso surface, timber backboard construction, and slight wear to the gold leaf revealing the dark red or grey bole beneath.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece or console table to reflect natural light and create a metallic accent that contrasts with modern minimalist or traditional decor schemes.

Dust the giltwood frame gently using a soft dry brush or dry microfibre cloth, keeping moisture and chemical sprays away from the gesso to avoid dissolving the gilding.
