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

During the early 20th century, particularly in Britain, pigeon racing was a popular sport, and winning birds were frequently commemorated through custom watercolour or oil portraits.

Artists used watercolour pigments, ink, and gouache on thick paper or board, typically mounted and fitted within wooden frames under glass.

Authentic pieces display hand-applied brushwork, fine pigment layering, period artist signatures or dates, and natural age-related changes to the paper stock.

Natural history and avian watercolours suit display alongside dark wood shelving, brass metalwork, or as part of a themed gallery wall in a study or hallway.

Preserve watercolour paintings by keeping them out of direct sunlight, using UV-filtering glass, and housing them with acid-free mounting materials.
