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.

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

A French arched top mirror, often associated with the Louis Philippe era of the 19th century, features a flat bottom edge designed to sit atop a fireplace mantle and a softly rounded upper arch. These frames typically incorporate timber substrates coated in sculpted gesso with gilded or painted finishes.

19th-century French mirrors were built using solid pine or oak backings faced with carved wood mouldings. Elaborate decorative details were created using gesso, a mixture of chalk and glue, which was carved or moulded before being painted or leafed.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut wooden backboards with original forged nails, natural oxidisation or foxing on the glass, and visible wear or micro-cracking (craquelure) in the gesso layer beneath painted finishes.

Large painted French mirrors serve as ideal focal points when mounted above a fireplace, positioned over a hallway console table, or leaned against a feature wall to enhance light reflection and visual space.

Clean the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth to remove dust without disturbing friable gesso. Glass cleaner should be sprayed onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent moisture from seeping into the frame backing.
