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

British military artwork from the early 20th century frequently combined humorous caricature with accurate depictions of regimental dress, equestrian sports, and garrison routines, popularized by artists such as Charles Snaffles Johnson Payne.

These works were typically executed using watercolour, gouache, and ink on heavy paper or card, subsequently housed in glazed wooden frames with protective mounting.

Authentic pieces often display hand-written captions, artist signatures or blindstamps, fine ink line work under watercolour washes, and period-correct paper watermarks.

Hang the framed artwork above a mahogany desk, within a gallery wall, or over a sideboard in a traditional study or library setting to add historical context.

Keep watercolour paintings away from direct sunlight and high humidity, using UV-filtering glass and acid-free mounting materials to prevent fading and foxing.
