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

Rococo style parcel gilt furniture is characterized by asymmetrical curves, acanthus leaf motifs, and selective gilding over a painted background. Originating in 18th-century France, parcel gilding highlights specific carved structural details rather than covering the entire timber frame.

Traditional pieces are typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or oak, finished with gesso, oil or water gilding using gold leaf, and painted layers. The shelves and back panels often incorporate glass or mercury-backed mirrored glass to reflect light.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, natural wear to the painted coat exposing underlying gesso, and subtle oxidisation on gilded highlights. Original back plates and glass shelves frequently show minor irregularities consistent with historical manufacturing techniques.

A painted and gilded display cabinet serves as a focal point when placed against textured wallpaper or saturated paint colours. Its open tiers and mirrored back allow light to bounce, making it ideal for displaying collections of porcelain, glassware, or natural curios.

Clean painted and gilded surfaces gently with a soft dry feather duster or lint-free microfiber cloth, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that degrade gold leaf. Use non-ammonia glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto mirrored panels to prevent liquid seeping behind the frame.
