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 French Empire style emerged in the early 19th century during the reign of Napoleon, characterised by neoclassical motifs, symmetry, architectural lines, and symbols inspired by ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt.

These pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden or gesso-on-wood frame finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer, often housing mercury glass or early float glass panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-carved detailing, traditional joinery, oxidized gesso, and genuine foxing, wear, or imperfections within the glass plate.

Interior designers often lean a large gilt mirror against a living room wall or above a fireplace to bounce natural light around the space, creating a deliberate contrast between contemporary minimalism and historical ornamentation.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate leaf, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
