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

Preservation requires keeping the item out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the painted backdrop and textiles, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and dusting the exterior glass carefully with a soft cloth.

Such pieces serve as striking focal points on large walls or library shelving, pairing well with neutral backdrops, dark woods, and curated collections of maritime or historical objects.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate hand-carved detailing, genuine age-related patination on the woods and textiles, hand-painted backdrops using historical pigments, and construction methods characteristic of nineteenth-century framing and woodworking.

Traditional materials include carved wood, bone, wire, textiles for sails, paper or canvas for painted backdrops, and glass-fronted wooden frames to protect the delicate internal components.

An antique ship diorama is a three-dimensional maritime display, typically crafted by sailors during the 19th century, featuring a detailed model ship set against a painted backdrop inside a glazed frame or shadowbox.
