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

Victorian papier-mache lacquerware refers to decorative items crafted from molded or laminated paper pulp, treated with heat, oil, and black varnish, then ornamented with gilding, paint, or mother-of-pearl.

Sheets of high-grade paper were saturated with paste and pressed into wooden molds, dried in heated stoves, treated with linseed oil, and finished with multiple coats of black asphaltum varnish before decorative gilding was applied.

Authentic pieces frequently bear an impressed makers mark on the underside, such as Jennens & Bettridge alongside a crown motif, accompanied by high-density weight, precise scalloped profiling, and fine gilt execution.

An antique tray can be placed flat on a sideboard or ottoman, positioned on a dedicated wall bracket, or set onto a custom base frame to serve as a low coffee table.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid using water, detergents, or chemical solvents, which can dull the varnish and lift gilding. Keep the object away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking.
