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

19th-century Italian giltwood mirrors feature hand-carved floral scrolls, crestings, and rococo-inspired flourishes covered in thin layers of gold leaf over a prepared wood frame.

Craftsmen carved the frame structure from wood, applied layers of gesso plaster, and covered the surface with gold leaf using a bole clay base to achieve depth and lustre.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible red bole clay where gold leaf has worn naturally, hand-carved joinery on the backboard, and slight silvering oxidisation on the glass surface.

Placing a giltwood mirror above a simple console table or fireplace mantel creates architectural interest and reflects light across contemporary spaces.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry soft brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or polish that dissolve delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
