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

The Louis Philippe style emerged in 19th-century France, characterised by restrained neoclassical proportions, rounded top corners, and understated ornamentation compared to the more extravagant Louis XIV and XV periods.

These frames are typically constructed from carved wood or composition moulding applied over a wooden base, finished with hand-applied gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with hand-silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces often feature foxing, oxidisation, and slight imperfections on the mercury or silvered glass plate, alongside traditional joinery at the corners of the heavy wooden frame.

Positioning a large antique mirror above a fireplace or against a plain wall reflects light and creates spatial depth, offering a deliberate contrast to modern minimalist furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass sparingly with a lint-free cloth and mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner to protect the aged silvering.
