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

Vintage advertising signs were produced by manufacturers to promote their products in retail shops, shifting from simple text to colourful, eye-catching graphics featuring characters and lifestyle scenes.

These promotional items were typically constructed from heavy-duty cardboard, pressed paperboard, tinplate, or wood, often utilising lithographic printing techniques for vibrant imagery.

Authenticity is determined by examining the printing method, paper stock ageing, natural wear patterns, manufacturer marks, and the presence of genuine oxidisation or fading consistent with age.

These decorative items can be mounted on walls within frames or placed on shelves as statement pieces to introduce colour, texture, and industrial or mid-century character to a room.

To preserve these pieces, keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and frame them behind UV-protective glass when possible.
