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

Royal Worcester introduced its signature painted fruit tradition in the late nineteenth century, developing a technique where artists hand-painted detailed still-life compositions onto bone china before multiple firings and burnishing.

Pieces are crafted from fine bone china, painted with mineral-based pigments in multiple delicate layers, fired repeatedly to fix the colours, and finished with hand-applied 22-carat gold gilding.

Authentic items display the printed Royal Worcester factory backstamp on the base, typically accompanied by the artists handwritten signature integrated into the painted fruit scene.

Display the vessel on a dark wood sideboard, within an open bookshelf, or alongside contemporary glass decorative objects to balance traditional hand-painted detail with minimalist lines.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water, which can wear down the burnished gold leaf and hand-painted surfaces.
