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

Meissen style porcelain produced during the late nineteenth century reflects European revivalist trends, particularly Rococo and Neoclassical designs. Items in this style typically feature hard-paste porcelain construction, elaborate gilding, complex ground patterns such as scale or trellis work, and hand-painted pastoral vignettes or figural reserves.

These pieces were crafted from fine white hard-paste porcelain, painted by hand using mineral enamel pigments, and finished with burnished gold leaf gilding. The blue scale ground pattern was applied using meticulous stippling or imbrication techniques prior to glaze firing and enamelling.

Specialists examine underglaze maker marks, the density and translucency of the porcelain paste, the character of hand-gilding, and signs of legitimate age-related wear on the foot rim. Nineteenth-century examples often display precise hand painting, delicate enamel layering, and soft wear to gilding along raised edges.

A pair of porcelain vases provides formal symmetry when placed atop a mantelpiece, sideboard, or architectural console table. Their pastel hues and intricate hand painting offer a classic decorative contrast within modern neutral rooms or traditional layered interiors.

Porcelain with hand-painted enamel reserves and surface gilding should be dusted with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or pony hair brush. Water and chemical detergents should be avoided to prevent the degradation of overglaze enamels and gilding.
