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

Victorian cartography refers to mapmaking produced during the 19th century, characterised by detailed steel engravings, decorative scrollwork borders, and hand-tinted geographic boundaries.

19th-century maps were typically printed using steel or copper engraved plates onto rag paper, followed by hand-applied watercolour washes to delineate political territories.

Authentic antique maps generally exhibit platemark impressions around the image border, age-appropriate toning on rag paper, and hand-applied watercolour rather than uniform modern printing dots.

An antique framed map serves as a focal point when positioned above a sideboard or desk, adding historical texture to modern schemes and complement dark wood features.

Preserve framed paper items by hanging them away from direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity, and using UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounting boards to prevent discolouration.
