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

Nineteenth-century French mirrors frequently incorporate classical motifs, scrollwork, and crests, often drawing inspiration from Louis XIV, XV, and XVI designs with refined craftsmanship.

These frames are typically constructed from carved wood, such as pine or softwood, layered with gesso and hand-applied gold leaf or metal leaf finishes, housing mercury or early silvered glass plates.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved details rather than cast resin, genuine oxidisation or foxing to the mirror plate, traditional joinery at the corners, and layered gesso showing age-appropriate craquelure.

Placing an ornate gilded mirror against a plain wall creates a striking focal point, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, avoiding contact with the fragile gilded frame, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent cracking in the gesso.
