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

Antique giltwood mirrors feature timber frames coated in plaster or gesso and finished with thin gold leaf applications, a traditional craft popularised throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries across Europe.

Traditional gilded frames were constructed from carved wood, layered with gesso or clay bole, and finished using water gilding or oil gilding techniques with real gold leaf.

Authentic antique gilt frames typically show signs of age, such as subtle cracking known as craquelure in the gesso, gentle wear revealing the reddish clay bole beneath, and hand-joined timber backings.

Position a large gilt mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entryway console table to reflect natural light and create a focal point contrasting with contemporary decor.

Clean the frame using only a dry feather duster or microfibre cloth; avoid water, liquid cleaners, or polishing agents as moisture can damage the delicate gesso and lift the gold leaf.
