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.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Dutch Golden Age genre portraits captured lively everyday characters, popularised by masters such as Frans Hals during the seventeenth century through expressive brushwork and dynamic compositions.

Paintings of this category were rendered using oil pigments on stretched linen or canvas, mounted onto wooden strainers and housed in dark timber or gilded mouldings.

Authentic period works display natural craquelure across the paint layer, historic canvas tensioning marks, and age-appropriate oxidisation on the timber reverse.

Hang the portrait as a focal point above a sideboard or within a gallery wall to introduce historical depth and warmth to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Position the painting away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dusting the frame periodically with a soft, dry brush while avoiding liquid cleaners on the artwork surface.
