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.
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.
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.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, European aristocrats embarked on the Grand Tour and acquired micromosaic tablets featuring detailed architectural views of Rome as historical souvenirs.

Artisans pulled coloured glass into thin filaments called smalti, cut them into minute square tesserae, and laid them individually into slow-drying cement within a black marble or stone substrate.

Authentic 19th-century micromosaics display exceptionally fine, tightly packed glass tesserae forming detailed landscape views, housed within hand-carved black marble or slate mounts.

Position the plaque on a brass display easel atop a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table alongside classical bronzes and framed artwork.

Dust the surface lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent loosening individual tesserae, and keep the stone mount away from abrasive liquids or moisture.
