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

Italian giltwood mirrors from the early 19th century often display Neoclassical and late Rococo influences, characterised by hand-carved wood frames, delicate floral or scroll cresting pediments, and gold leaf gilding over a gesso base.

Traditional construction involved hand-carved softwood or hardwood frames, sealed with layers of gesso plaster, followed by clay bole and thin sheets of gold leaf, fitted with mercury-silvered mirror glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as natural wear to the gilding revealing red or grey clay bole underneath, visible hand-carving marks on the rear timber frame, and light foxing or spotting on original mirror glass.

Positioning an ornate gilt mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or entryway console table creates a structural focal point that contrasts ornate historical craft with contemporary clean lines.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners which dissolve gesso or lift delicate gold leaf. Glass should be cleaned by spraying cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror plate.
