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

Eighteenth-century giltwood mirrors feature hand-carved timber frames finished with thin leaves of gold applied over a chalk-based gesso surface, often showcasing Rococo, Chippendale, or Neoclassical foliate and scroll motifs.

Frames were carved from softwoods such as pine or lime wood, coated with gesso, and gilded using water-gilding techniques with gold leaf, while the reflective glass was mercury-silvered plate.

Authentic period mirrors typically display hand-sawn pine backboards, evidence of hand-carving beneath the gesso, age-related foxing or tarnish to the glass, and areas where the reddish clay bole base shows through worn gilding.

Placing an ornate gilded mirror above a contemporary fireplace or modern sideboard creates an architectural focal point, balancing rich historic ornamentation with clean modern lines.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft dry brush, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners which can dissolve water-gilded gesso finishes and damage fragile gold leaf.
