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

Rococo revival porcelain from the late Georgian and Regency periods features asymmetrical scrollwork, gilded C-scroll mouldings, pierced stems, and hand-painted botanical sprays.

These items were crafted from bone china or soft-paste porcelain, finished with an overglaze, hand-painted enamel floral decoration, and mercury gilding.

Authentic pieces often feature factory marks on the underside, such as the printed red crown mark from the Bloor Derby period, along with fine hand-painted enamels and age-appropriate wear to the gilding.

Positioning them symmetrically on a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard top introduces structural height, rich texture, and historical contrast within contemporary or traditional spaces.

Clean gently using a soft, dry brush or a microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion, chemical detergents, and abrasive cloths that can strip or scratch original gilding and enamel work.
