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

During the Regency era, papier-mache was a favoured medium for decorative homewares, created by layering paper sheets or pulp mixed with adhesives before being baked, lacquered, and hand-decorated with gilded patterns.

They were formed using heat-compressed paper moulds coated in successive layers of black japanned lacquer, followed by hand-painted gold leaf ornamentation or powdered metal embellishments.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age craquelure within the protective varnish layer, subtle surface wear to raised gilded areas, and a dense, light-to-moderate structural weight compared to modern substitutes.

A pair of antique coasters functions as a surface accent on a dining table, sideboard, or drinks trolley to hold wine decanters, pillars, or small trinkets.

Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or solvent-based cleaners that can penetrate the lacquered surface and compromise the underlying paper composition.
