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.

FAQs

This period encompasses neoclassical and regency aesthetics, characterised by symmetrical proportions, classical motifs such as urns, swags, and leaf scrolls, and sophisticated gilding techniques.

Frames were typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated with layers of gesso, and finished with gold leaf applied over a bole base, often featuring hand-carved decorative elements.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-applied gesso and gold leaf showing natural wear, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and hand-cut timber joinery at the reverse.

Positioning the mirror above a minimalist fireplace mantel or a sleek console table creates a striking contrast, allowing the historical ornamentation to anchor a modern room.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoid all liquid cleaners or chemical solvents to protect the delicate gold leaf, and hang the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
