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.
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.
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.

Victorian picture frames typically feature heavy profiles, gilded surfaces, and classic decorative motifs such as Greek key borders, acanthus leaves, or floral mouldings.

These frames were generally made from softwood bases, covered with composition moulding or gesso to form intricate details, and finished with applied gold leaf.

Authentic period frames show natural signs of age, including fine hairline cracks in the gesso surface, reddish clay bole visible through worn gilding, and traditional mitred corner joinery.

Large gilt frames can be hung empty as architectural wall features, fitted with clear mirror glass, or used to contrast modern abstract artwork within traditional moulding.

Lightly dust the frame using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths that can dissolve water gilding and damage soft composition details.
