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

Nineteenth-century gilt wood mirrors typically feature elaborate moulded or hand-carved wooden frames coated in a thin layer of gold leaf or gesso, often reflecting revivalist design movements such as Victorian, Regency, or Neoclassical.

These frames are constructed from softwoods or hardwoods, coated with gesso (a plaster-like binder), and water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine gold leaf, paired with hand-silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing, age-related oxidation and foxing on the mercury or silvered glass, hand-planed backing boards, and micro-cracking in the gesso layer consistent with historical shrinkage.

They serve as striking focal points when hung above a contemporary fireplace mantel or console table, creating a deliberate contrast between historic craftsmanship and minimalist modern aesthetics.

Dust gently with a dry, soft ostrich feather duster and avoid liquid cleaners, chemical sprays, or abrasive cloths, which can strip the delicate gold leaf and historical gesso surface.
