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

Eighteenth-century Italian giltwood mirrors are defined by intricate hand-carved timber frames featuring Rococo and Neoclassical influences. Common design elements include sweeping C-scrolls, acanthus foliage, and crestings finished with water gilding over red bole and gesso.

Craftsmen carved these frames from softwoods such as pine or lime. The carved surface was sealed with coats of gesso, painted with clay-based bole, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf applied using traditional water-gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces often reveal a reddish or greyish bole showing through areas where gold leaf has worn naturally over time. Original mirror glass typically exhibits slight distortions, mercury silvering degradation, or dark spot oxidisation consistent with age.

A large gilded mirror functions effectively as a focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece or a sleek sideboard. The reflective surface and metallic texture balance contemporary minimalist furniture by adding warmth and historical contrast.

Dust the carved frame regularly using a soft, dry brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical sprays which dissolve gesso and water gilding. Mirror glass should be cleaned conservatively with a damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the frame edge.
