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

Neoclassical French mirrors from the 19th century feature symmetrical proportions, linear fluting, and classical motifs such as ribbon bow crests, floral swags, and leaf detailing inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber frames coated with a fine layer of gesso, which enabled detailed moulding before receiving paint or gilt finishes over silvered glass panels.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display natural age-related cracking in the gesso layer known as craquelure, original wooden backboards, natural oxidisation on the glass silvering, and evidence of hand-carved joinery.

Position a large French mirror resting against a prominent wall or mounted above a console table to reflect natural light, create architectural depth, and contrast clean contemporary furniture lines with carved textures.

Clean the glass panel with a lightly dampened cloth, taking care not to let moisture seep into the frame edge, and clean the carved gesso using a soft dry brush to remove dust without disturbing delicate painted surfaces.
