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

Silhouette art consists of monochromatic profile pictures or narrative scenes created by cutting black paper or painting in solid black ink against a light background. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces provided an accessible way to capture likenesses and scenes prior to widespread photography.

Traditional 19th-century silhouettes were made using fine black paper cut with scissors or small knives, or by painting directly onto paper or card with India ink. The cutouts were mounted on cream or off-white card stock and secured beneath glass inside slim wooden or metal frames.

Authentic period silhouettes often show natural signs of age on the paper mount, such as subtle yellowing or foxing. Looking closely at the edges can reveal fine hand-cut details, subtle blade marks, or layered paper construction typical of 19th-century techniques.

Antique silhouettes work well when grouped together on gallery walls or positioned in narrow architectural spaces. They can be paired with dark wood furniture, vintage brass accents, or contemporary minimalist frames to create visual contrast.

Display paper silhouettes away from direct sunlight and light sources to avoid fading or paper degradation. Maintain stable room humidity to prevent paper warping, and consider conservation-grade mounting and UV-filtering glass if re-framing.
