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

Crafted roughly between 1727 and 1760, George II gilt gesso mirrors are characterised by pine frames coated in gesso plaster, fine low-relief carving, architectural pediments, and water-gilded gold surfaces.

These mirrors typically feature a softwood core, layered gesso compositions carved in relief, gold leaf application via water gilding, hand-blown mirror glass with mercury amalgams, and brass or iron fixture arms.

Authentic period pieces display natural age-related cracking known as craquelure in the gesso, uneven hand-cut wood joinery on the backboard, dark oxidation spots on original mirror plates, and signs of water-gilding wear.

Designers position these statement pieces above chimneypieces or consoles to contrast historic carved detailing against minimalist wall backgrounds and contemporary architectural lines.

Dust gently using a soft, dry natural bristle brush or feather duster; never apply liquid cleaners, water, or chemical solvents, as moisture dissolves water-gilded gesso bases.
