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.

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

Victorian portraiture evolved during the 19th century to capture the likeness, status, and character of individuals using oil pigments on stretched canvas. Influenced by academic traditions, these portraits typically featured formal attire, sombre background tones, and detailed facial rendering.

Paintings from this era were rendered using oil pigments ground in drying oils and applied onto linen or cotton canvas. Frames were generally crafted from wood with detailed moulded plaster or gesso decorations, coated in gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period artworks display natural craquelure throughout the oil varnish layer, structural darkening of the reverse canvas, and hand-fashioned stretcher bars. Original giltwood frames often demonstrate light wear to the gilding, revealing reddish bole or white gesso layers beneath.

An antique oil portrait works effectively as a focal feature above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table. Displaying historic artwork alongside clean-lined contemporary furniture creates a refined decorative contrast.

Position the artwork away from direct sunlight, severe temperature swings, and excessive humidity to prevent paint flaking and canvas tension loss. Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners.
