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

French Louis XVI style gilt mirrors are characterised by neoclassical symmetry, refined floral carving, beaded mouldings, and crestings featuring classical elements such as urns, bows, and acanthus leaves.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber frameworks coated with layers of chalky gesso and red or yellow clay bole, finished with thin sheets of genuine gold leaf applied via water or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces feature natural wear exposing the red or dark bole layer underneath the gilding, subtle craquelure in the gesso, timber backboards held with hand-forged nails, and age-related foxing on the glass mirror plate.

Designers frequently position French gilt mirrors above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or entryway console table to reflect natural light and create a visual focal point that bridges traditional and modern aesthetics.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or liquid polishes which can dissolve water gilding and damage delicate gesso detail.
