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.

An 18th-century portrait miniature is a highly detailed, small-scale painting, usually executed in watercolour on ivory or vellum, designed to be carried, worn as jewellery, or displayed in small intimate settings.

Artists during this era predominantly used watercolour or gouache painted onto thin wafers of ivory, vellum, or copper, which were then housed under glass within gilt-bronze, gold, or pinchbeck frames.

Authentic pieces typically feature fine, stippled or cross-hatched brushwork, natural craquelure under magnification, Period-correct clothing styles, and original glazed metal frames showing light surface oxidisation.

These delicate artworks work well incorporated into a gallery wall alongside larger framed prints, suspended in a narrow alcove, or displayed on a stand inside a glazed cabinet.

Keep the miniature out of direct sunlight and extreme humidity, as moisture can cause watercolour on ivory to warp or flake; clean the outer glass gently with a dry microfibre cloth without using liquid cleaners.
