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

Mid-20th-century still life paintings often combine traditional figurative subjects with post-impressionist or modernist brushwork, focusing on form, light, and expressive colour relationships rather than strict photographic realism.

Artists traditionally apply oil-based pigments bound with drying oils onto a stretched linen or cotton canvas that has been prepared with a gesso ground coat.

Authentic works are identified by period-appropriate canvas weave, natural surface aging or light craquelure, artist signatures, and period stretching hardware or gallery labels.

Position the artwork above a dining room sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to establish a focal point, pairing rich pigment tones with neutral wall colours or classic wood furniture.

Display the canvas away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high humidity, dusting the painted surface very gently with a soft dry brush without using liquid cleansers.
