Archival Detail
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.

Designed in the mid-twentieth century by English wood engraver Clare Leighton, these series were produced by Wedgwood on fine Queens Ware earthenware to celebrate traditional regional industries and agricultural life.

Queens Ware is a durable, cream-coloured lead-glazed earthenware developed by Josiah Wedgwood. The complex detailed artwork is applied to the ceramic body using underglaze or overglaze transfer printing techniques before final firing.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed Wedgwood maker marks on the reverse, alongside the specific series name, title of the scene, and Clare Leightons artist signature integrated within the printed design.

A complete set can be displayed as a wall grid in a dining room or hall using invisible wire plate hangers, or arranged along picture ledges and sideboards to bring graphic monochrome accenting to minimalist spaces.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and wash by hand using mild soapy water when necessary. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, harsh chemicals, and dishwasher usage to prevent crazing or wear to the glazed surface.
