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

Pieces on glass should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, displayed in stable humidity conditions, and cleaned only with a dry, soft microfiber cloth on the glass surface.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points on gallery walls, or displayed individually above a console table to introduce historic texture and a touch of metallic warmth to modern spaces.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the ageing of the glass, the oxidation of the pigments or metallic foils on the reverse side, and the construction methods and patination of the wooden backing frame.

Frames from the Victorian era are typically constructed from gesso over a wooden base, often featuring hand-carved or moulded plaster details finished with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Reverse glass painting, also known as Verre Eglomise or Hinterglasmalerei, involves applying pigment or gold leaf to the back of a glass panel so the image is viewed through the front.
