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 nineteenth-century French Chateau style wall mirror belongs to the Louis Philippe period and stands 207 cm high, 168 cm wide, and 12 cm deep. The construction uses giltwood, glass, and composition, presenting a bright gold colour across the whole frame. A prominent arched top shapes the top edge, complemented by a subtle beaded moulding running along the inner gilded border and an original glass plate. Today, this piece finds its primary placement above the mantel in a living room, drawing room, or grand hallway, leaning securely against a wall to reflect interior light and space. The substantial proportions make it a commanding architectural element within a traditional interior scheme, serving as a functional focal point above a fireplace or console table.

FAQs

Popularised during the Louis Philippe period in France, these mirrors feature rounded top corners, straight bottom edges, and frames decorated with gold leaf gilding.

Frames were typically constructed from softwood or molded composition plaster laid over wood, burnished with thin gold leaf and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces often feature original timber backboards, subtle wear or oxidisation (foxing) on the glass plate, and gentle cracking or patina within the gilding.

Positioning a large gilded mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or mounting it in a dining room reflects light and adds architectural scale to modern spaces.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding water, liquid polishes, or harsh chemical cleaners that can lift delicate gold leaf.
