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

These mirrors feature timber frames embellished with gesso, a plaster-like mixture of chalk and glue, which was moulded into intricate relief designs prior to painting or gilding.

Craftsmen utilised solid softwoods or hardwoods for the core structural frame, coated with hand-moulded gesso for ornate detailing, and fitted with silvered or mercury-backed glass plates.

Authentic examples typically display hand-carved joinery on the rear timber backing, natural age-related craquelure within the gesso layer, and subtle silvering oxidation on the glass.

Positioning a tall mirror opposite a window maximises natural light, while leaning it against a wall in a hallway or bedroom creates a structural focal point alongside modern furnishings.

Dust the frame gently using a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding moisture, damp cloths, or chemical solvents that could soften the gesso or strip original paint layers.
