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

Folk art or primitive ancestor portraits were non-academic paintings created in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by itinerant or self-taught artists, depicting local families and prominent figures.

These artworks were painted using hand-mixed oil pigments applied to natural linen or cotton canvas stretched over timber stretcher bars.

Authentic period paintings show uniform craquelure across the paint layer, age-related darkening on the reverse canvas, and period-appropriate attire on the sitters.

Ancestral portraits can be hung as a pair above a sideboard or integrated into a gallery wall alongside modern art to add historical texture and contrast.

Dust gently with a dry, soft brush, avoid direct sunlight or high humidity, and consult a qualified art conservator for varnish cleaning or structural repairs.
