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

Plumbago portrait miniatures are small-scale portrait drawings executed using fine graphite or lead pencil, a technique popularised in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries prior to the widespread adoption of watercolour on ivory.

These artworks typically utilised graphite or grey wash on vellum, paper, or parchment, set behind glass inside cast brass or gilt-metal bezels and mounted onto wooden or fabric-covered panels.

Authentic examples display minute cross-hatching, graphite stippling, period-appropriate monochrome shading, hand-cut brass or copper bezels, and natural age-related oxidisation on the metal mounts.

Position them as an accent piece within a gallery wall, above a mantlepiece, or hung in a quiet study alongside traditional dark wood furnishings and brass accents.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to prevent fading and paper degradation, dusting the outer glass and metal frame gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
