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

Papier-mache production gained widespread popularity in Britain during the 18th century, particularly following Henry Clays patented technique for heat-treating laminated paper sheets to create durable, heat-resistant household items.

These items were crafted using compressed layers of paper or paper pulp, bound with adhesives, dried under high heat, and sealed with asphaltum varnish, lacquer, paint, and gold leaf detailing.

Authentic period pieces often feature surface craquelure, hand-painted artwork with visible brushwork, age-appropriate wear to gilded borders, and substantial weight due to dense layering.

A large tray can be positioned vertically on a plate stand atop a sideboard, wall-mounted as decorative artwork, or placed flat on a large ottoman to anchor smaller accessories.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keeping the surface free from moisture, liquid spills, polish solvents, and direct heat sources that can compromise the lacquer coating.
