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.

During the early to mid-19th century, watercolour portraits were a primary medium for capturing family likenesses prior to the widespread commercial availability of photography. These works provided soft, intimate depictions favoured for personal mementos and display in private living spaces.

Portraits from this era were typically executed using watercolour pigments on heavy paper or card. Frames were frequently crafted from figure-grained timbers like birds eye maple or mahogany, often featuring hand-gilded inner slips to highlight the central artwork.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate signs such as minor paper foxing, period-accurate fashion and hairstyles, hand-cut glass with subtle imperfections, and original wooden backing boards with historic securing tacks.

An antique portrait can be integrated into a modern gallery wall layout or hung individually in a narrow wall space. Positioning historic artwork against deep modern paint colours creates a strong visual contrast and highlights the warmth of timber frames.

To prevent fading and paper degradation, keep watercolours out of direct sunlight and high humidity environments. Ensure the framing uses acid-free mounting materials and, if replacing glass, select UV-protective museum glass.
