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 early 19th century, watercolour portraiture became a widely accepted medium in Britain for capturing likenesses, favoured for its rapid execution and translucent qualities compared to oil painting.

These works were typically executed using ground mineral pigments bound with gum arabic applied to handmade rag paper, then framed behind protective glass with wash-line mounts and gilded timber mouldings.

Authentic pieces exhibit era-specific costume details such as lace bonnets and high cravats, natural ageing or light foxing on the paper substrate, period frame backing with square-cut nails, and artist signatures or dates.

Display a pair of framed portraits symmetrically above a console or sideboard, or integrate them into a gallery wall alongside contemporary line drawings to establish visual contrast.

Position watercolours away from direct sunlight and areas of elevated humidity to prevent fading and foxing, ensuring archival acid-free mounting materials and UV-filtering glass are utilised.
