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.
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.
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.

Chippendale mirrors reference mid-18th-century designs by cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, combining British Georgian proportions with French Rococo, Gothic, and Chinoiserie influences. Key features include elaborate pierced carving, acanthus leaf scrolls, asymmetrical flourishes, and pagoda crestings.

The frames were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime wood, coated with layers of gesso (a plaster-like substance), and finished with hand-applied gold leaf over a clay bole base. Mirror plates from early periods were crafted from blown plate glass with mercury amalgams.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved tool marks on the reverse frame, natural shrinkage in timber joints, uneven gilding wear exposing red or yellow clay bole beneath, and original dark oxidation spots across the glass plate.

An ornate giltwood mirror serves as a contrasting focal point when placed in contemporary spaces. Styling above a sleek fireplace mantelpiece, against a minimalist backdrop, or over a modern console table balances historical ornamentation with clean lines.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster. Moisture, liquid cleaners, and commercial polishes must be avoided, as water can dissolve the underlying gesso and damage the delicate gold leaf layer.
