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 and Baroque giltwood frames are characterised by elaborate ornamentation, featuring asymmetrical C-scrolls, acanthus leaf motifs, and intricate pierced or openwork carving that creates depth and dramatic shadow effects.

Traditional frames were hand-carved from softwood or hardwood timber, coated with layers of gesso plaster, painted with clay bole, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf that were burnished to a high lustre.

Authentic period frames often display visible hand joinery, natural wear to the gilding showing red or grey bole beneath, fine craquelure along the wood grain, and original hanging hardware or wood backing.

A highly detailed gilt frame can serve as a statement focal point above a mantelpiece or console table, either fitted with a clear mirror or left unglazed against a contrasting modern wall colour.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster; avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or commercial polishes, as moisture can dissolve the water-gesso ground and loosen the gold leaf.
