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

18th-century Italian Rococo mirrors feature elaborate cartouche silhouettes, asymmetrical scrollwork, fluid carved acanthus leaves, and gilded finishes, reflecting the theatricality and elegance of the period.

They were hand-carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with multiple layers of gesso, painted with clay bole, and finished with thin gold leaf that was hand-burnished to achieve depth and lustre.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved tool marks, uneven gesso application, subtle reddish clay bole showing through worn gilding, and original mercury-backed glass with natural oxidisation.

Position them symmetrically on either side of a doorway, artwork, or fireplace mantel, or hang them in a narrow hallway to add historical texture and architectural interest.

Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or commercial polishes, as moisture dissolves the underlying gesso and strips delicate historical gilding.
