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

This period of painting is characterised by naturalistic depictions of domestic and exotic fowl, often arranged in classical architectural or landscape settings. Popularised by Dutch, Flemish, and British artists, these compositions emphasize varied textures, realistic anatomical proportions, and dramatic light contrasts.

Artistry of this era typically utilised hand-ground mineral and organic pigments bound in linseed or walnut oil, applied directly onto hand-woven linen canvas stretched over wooden frames. The completed works were protected with natural varnish coatings, such as mastic or dammar.

Authentic paintings from this era exhibit natural craquelure patterns across the paint layer, hand-carved or molded stretcher bars, and evidence of historical canvas relining. Examination under ultraviolet light often reveals historic retouching, while the reverse side may show aged wood and oxidation on nails.

A large historical oil painting acts as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or console table. Pairing the piece with contemporary minimalist furniture or traditional dark wood furnishings creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the artworks depth and gilding.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature changes, and high humidity to prevent cracking or warping. Dust gently with a dry, soft brush and avoid household liquid cleaners; surface cleaning or varnish removal should be executed by a professional conservator.
