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.

Belle Epoque portraiture, spanning the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, is characterised by elegant depictions of figures, fluid brushwork, soft colour palettes, and an emphasis on refined fashion and light.

Antique watercolour portraits were typically executed on heavy cotton rag paper using water-soluble pigments, often mounted in carved giltwood or composition frames protected by glass.

Authentic period portraiture displays age-appropriate paper toning, hand-carved or molded gilt frames with genuine gold leaf wear, artist signatures, and period framing construction on the reverse.

An oval framed portrait serves as a classic focal point when positioned above a sideboard or mantelpiece, or integrated into a gallery wall to contrast with clean modern lines.

Watercolour paintings must be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, displayed in stable humidity environments, and mounted behind UV-protective glass with acid-free matting.
