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

Originating in 19th-century France during the reign of King Louis Philippe, these mirrors typically feature rounded upper corners, clean outer profiles, and detailed carved or moulded gesso decoration.

They were crafted with a solid timber core, often pine or oak, coated in gesso plaster mixture to allow detailed relief carving and moulding before being painted or gilded.

Authentic 19th-century pieces show subtle cracking or craquelure in the gesso, age-related foxing or tarnishing on the glass plate, and hand-cut timber backing boards.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or console table to reflect light and create a focal point that balances historical architectural detail with modern furnishings.

Dust the frame lightly with a dry soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water and liquid chemical cleaners that can dissolve the delicate gesso layer.
