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

These pieces typically feature hand-stitched wool or silk embroidery depicting historicist figures, classical gardens, or Tuscan architectural settings, framed within ornate gilded wood mouldings popular during the late Victorian era.

Craftsmen used hand-dyed woollen yarn and silk threads worked onto a canvas backing, which was subsequently mounted onto wood or board and set inside a gesso-moulded and gilded timber frame.

Authentic period examples exhibit irregular hand-stitching on the reverse, natural oxidation of the threads, original wooden backing boards, and hand-carved or gesso-decorated gilt frames showing age-appropriate surface patina.

Position the framed panel above a clean-lined sideboard, fireplace mantel, or console table to create a focal point where traditional craft contrasts with contemporary furnishings.

Display the panel away from direct sunlight and moisture sources, keep it protected behind UV-filtering glass if possible, and clean the frame using a soft, dry dusting brush rather than chemical solvents.
