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.

Commercial trade signs emerged as essential visual markers for shops and craftsmen prior to modern mass printing. Hand-lettered by skilled signwriters on sheet metal or wood, these signs advertised specific services such as cobblers, tailors, and merchants using distinct typography and durable paints designed to withstand outdoor weathering.

Turn-of-the-century trade signs were typically made from rolled iron, zinc, or tin sheet mounted into timber or iron frames. Signwriters used oil-based enamel paints and lead-based pigments, layering shaded block lettering and decorative flourishes onto a prepared ground colour for maximum contrast and legibility.

Authentic original signs feature genuine age-related wear, such as natural craquelure, paint flaking, and light surface oxidisation that matches the underlying metal sheet. Hand-painted brushstrokes should show subtle variations in thickness, while mounting hardware and corner joints should exhibit historical forging or joining techniques.

A large hand-painted trade sign serves as a focal statement piece on a wall in a hallway, home office, or kitchen dining area. Mounting the sign above a console table or sideboard adds architectural interest and graphic texture, pairing effectively with industrial, rustic farmhouse, or contemporary minimalist decor schemes.

Keep the sign in a dry indoor environment to prevent active rust formation on exposed metal surfaces. Lightly dust the surface using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or water which can lift fragile, flaking paint layers or compromise the original patina.
