Strictly Vetted Dealers

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

Circus poster art originated in the nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries as a bold form of promotional advertising designed to attract public attention through dramatic typography and graphic illustrations of performers and wild animals.

Original promotional pieces were typically produced via lithographic printing on paper, while hand-painted signboards and artwork commissions utilized oil or enamel paints on canvas, wood panel, or hardboard framed in decorative timber.

Authentic mid-century artwork often features specific artist brushwork or print alignment marks, period-appropriate aging on the substrate, correct historical typography, and genuine frame wear or canvas oxidisation.

Dramatic graphic artwork can serve as a bold statement piece when hung above a mantelpiece or sideboard, pairing well with eclectic, maximalist, or dark academia decorative schemes.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to prevent fading or cracking, dust the frame gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid liquid cleaning products on the paint surface.
