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

Preserve the piece by dusting it gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding all harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, and excessive moisture to protect the delicate painted surface.

This piece can be placed on a bookshelf, coffee table, or mantelpiece to introduce colour, texture, and historical interest into a contemporary living space.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-mixed mineral pigments with slight irregularities, visible tool marks on the copper base, turquoise-glazed interiors or bases, and natural ageing of the metallic components.

These items are constructed from hammered copper bases coated with opaque white or coloured enamel, then hand-painted with mineral pigments and fired multiple times in a kiln.

Canton enamel refers to Chinese painted copper enamels produced in Guangzhou (Canton) primarily for export during the Qing Dynasty, characterised by vibrant colours and intricate floral or figural motifs.
