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

A 19th-century pocket map is a portable cartographic guide designed to fold into a compact size and store inside a protective slipcase or cover for ease of transport by travellers.

Georgian folding maps were typically engraved on paper, often cut into individual sections and mounted onto a flexible linen backing to allow repeated folding without tearing the paper surface.

Authentic period maps display characteristic features such as plate marks from copperplate engraving, hand-coloured outlines, original publisher imprints with street addresses, and age-appropriate paper oxidation.

An antique pocket map can be professionally mounted in a double-sided float frame to display both sides, or placed opened within a glass display case on a desk or bookshelf.

Keep paper cartography away from direct sunlight and high humidity, storing flat in acid-free tissue paper or displaying behind UV-protective museum glass.
