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

Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester porcelain covers the production period from approximately 1813 to 1840. This era is notable for its exceptionally fine porcelain paste, rich gilding techniques, intricate heraldic painting, and vibrant ground colours such as cobalt blue and maroon.

English porcelain of this era utilised soft-paste or bone china formulations containing bone ash, china clay, and china stone. Finishes featured mercury gilding and hand-painted enamel glazes applied in multiple kiln firings.

Authentic pieces often feature impressed or painted factory marks on the underside, such as FBB under a crown or full manufacturer scripts. Additional indicators include precise hand-painted heraldry, heavy burnished mercury gilding, and light wear consistent with early 19th-century age.

Antique porcelain pieces can be displayed on velvet-lined tray tables, placed inside glazed corner cabinets, or grouped on decorative sideboard tops. Pairing deep ground colours like cobalt blue with modern minimalist furniture creates visual contrast.

Clean gilded porcelain using a soft brush or a lightly dampened microfiber cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid chemical abrasives, soaking, or mechanical dishwashers, as these processes strip hand-applied gold leaf and enamel details.
