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

During the 18th century, cartographers produced detailed county maps using copperplate engraving to document land boundaries, hundred divisions, and local infrastructure across Great Britain.

Antique maps were typically printed using oil-based ink from engraved copper plates onto handmade cotton or linen rag paper, which was occasionally detailed with hand-applied watercolour washes.

Authentic period maps generally exhibit a clear plate mark impression around the border, visible chain lines and watermarks within the rag paper, and signs of age-related toning or foxing.

Positioning a large framed map above a console table or sideboard creates a focal point in a hallway, library, or dining room, bridging traditional framing with modern decor.

Frame paper maps using acid-free mounting materials and UV-filtering glass, ensuring the item is displayed away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources to prevent fading.
