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.

FAQs

French antique frames from the 19th and early 20th centuries typically feature ornate cast bronze or brass with intricate scrollwork, rococo motifs, and fire-gilded finishes.

Authentic pieces are generally crafted from cast bronze or brass, often mercury-gilded or fire-gilded, and inset with hand-cut paste stones or rhinestones to simulate diamonds.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy, solid-cast metal construction, hand-set faceted paste stones rather than modern glue, and natural patination consistent with age.

Placing a gilded metal frame on a mantelpiece or side table introduces textural contrast and metallic warmth, complementing both minimalist and maximalist schemes.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid all chemical cleaning agents or abrasive polishes to preserve the delicate original gilding and stone settings.
