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.

This large 19th-century French Louis Philippe style wall mirror consists of a giltwood frame holding a replacement mirror glass. The gold coloured composition frame incorporates rounded upper corners, Greek key decoration, incised geometric moulding, and a central carved shell crest with scrolls and flowers. Visible hardware includes small metal side mounting brackets. The mirror measures 171 cm high, 107 cm wide, and 20 cm deep, and retains its original gilt finish and backboards. Positioned in a home today, this piece suits placement above the mantel in a living room, drawing room, or hallway. The wall mirror hangs vertically, reflecting light and adding a traditional French chateau aesthetic to an interior space.

FAQs

A 19th-century French Louis Philippe mirror typically features an upright rectangular form with rounded upper corners, an incised frame with beaded inner moulding, and gold leaf gilding over a wooden core.

These mirrors were constructed using pine or oak timber frames coated in plaster gesso, finished with hand-applied gold leaf gilding, and fitted with silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planked wooden backs, red or grey clay bole showing through worn gilding spots, and subtle oxidation or light foxing on the original glass mirror plate.

Mount the mirror centrally above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or entryway console table to act as an anchor piece and increase perceived light and room depth.

Dust the carved gilding gently using a soft, dry natural-bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or water that can dissolve water-gilded surfaces or loosen delicate gesso details.
