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.
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.
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.

Regency-era portrait sketches, created primarily between 1811 and 1820, feature delicate graphite lines, soft cross-hatching, and realistic depictions of subjects, frequently capturing informal poses of children and family members.

Artwork from this period was rendered using graphite, charcoal, or iron gall ink on woven rag paper. Frames were commonly constructed from pine or oak topped with burr wood veneers and finished with gilded inner slips.

Authentic period sketches display natural paper ageing such as foxing or subtle tonal shift, hand-drawn graphite strokes under magnification, original timber backboards, and hand-cut glass with occasional surface air bubbles.

Small framed artworks can be integrated into asymmetrical gallery walls, placed on a deep window sill, or leaned against a mantelpiece alongside modern ceramic accessories to create visual contrast.

Keep paper art in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and damp walls. Ensure framing utilises acid-free backing materials and UV-protective glass to prevent ongoing deterioration.
