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

Victorian gilt frames are distinguished by their deep channelled profiles, heavy gesso moulding, and layered architectural borders, frequently incorporating leaf, bead, or floral motifs finished in gold leaf.

These frames were typically constructed using a pine or oak wooden core covered with gesso (a plaster mixture), detailed with composition ornament moulding, and finished using traditional water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period frames show natural age-related craquelure within the gesso, red or dark bole clay undersurfaces showing through worn gilding, and period jointing techniques on the timber reverse.

Deep gilt frames can be hung as standalone sculptural wall accents, fitted with modern mirrors, or used to frame contemporary artwork to create a deliberate visual contrast against minimalist backdrops.

Gilded surfaces must be dusted gently with a soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical polish which dissolves gesso and strips delicate gold leaf.
