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

19th-century French gilt mirrors are defined by timber frames built up with sculpted gesso plaster and overlaid with gold leaf, frequently featuring elaborate crestings, scrollwork, and foliate motifs inspired by Louis XV and Empire styles.

These frames were constructed using carved wood and moulded gesso, layered with a clay-based surface called bole, and coated in thin sheets of gold leaf, housing silvered or mercury glass panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural rubbing along high points revealing the underlying red or grey bole clay, subtle craquelure in the gesso layer, and gentle oxidisation or foxing on the glass panel.

Designers frequently position large gilt mirrors above minimalist mantlepieces, leaning against dining room walls, or positioned over modern sideboards to create visual contrast between classical ornamentation and clean contemporary lines.

Dust the ornate gesso mouldings using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, keeping liquids and chemical sprays away from the frame as moisture can dissolve historic water gilding and glue binders.
