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

Botanical illustration and herbarium collection gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as amateur and professional naturalists catalogued plant life, a practice that transitioned into fashionable home display.

Authentic specimens are typically mounted onto heavy handmade rag paper using organic adhesives or paper strips, accompanied by handwritten taxonomic notes in iron gall ink, and housed in wooden frames.

Authenticity is indicated by genuine organic ageing of the paper and plant matter, handwriting in period ink rather than digital print reproduction, and period framing construction methods.

These pieces work effectively as a gallery wall grouping in studies, hallways, or living spaces, pairing well with neutral wall colours and traditional or transitional interior schemes.

To prevent fading and degradation, antique paper and dried botanical specimens must be displayed away from direct sunlight, in rooms with controlled humidity, and behind UV-filtering glass.
