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

Japanning is a European decorative technique developed in the seventeenth century to imitate Asian lacquerwork, using varnish and resin layers to build up polished, opaque finishes often decorated with gilt motifs.

Traditional japanned mirrors were crafted with a timber frame coated in pigmented resin or spirit varnish, detailed with hand-applied gold leaf or metallic powders and fitted with silvered mirror glass.

Authentic pieces feature age-related craquelure or micro-cracking across the lacquer layers, gentle softening of the raised gilt figures, and evidence of hand-cut timber joinery on the reverse.

A pair of scarlet japanned mirrors can be hung symmetrically above a dining room sideboard or entryway console to act as a bold focal point that balances neutral modern wall colours.

Dust surfaces using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, avoiding water, commercial polishers, or harsh solvents that could compromise the historical varnish and gilding.
