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

Regency period giltwood mirrors from the early 19th century feature classical symmetry, leaf mouldings, and gold leaf finishes applied over carved timber or composition moulding.

Frames were constructed from softwoods such as pine, covered with plaster or composition ornament, coated with gesso, and finished using real gold leaf gilding over silvered glass plates.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate desilverisation or foxing on the glass, joinery marks on backboards, and wear to the gold leaf where the red bole undercoat shows through.

A pair of giltwood mirrors can be mounted side-by-side above a sideboard or console table, placed symmetrically on either side of a fireplace, or positioned in a hallway to amplify light.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that dissolve water-gilded finishes and damage delicate composition ornaments.
