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.

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 18th century, French cartographers produced highly detailed copperplate engravings of foreign regions for political, naval, and geographical record keeping, including detailed layouts of Scotland.

Maps from the late 18th century were typically printed using copperplate engraving on hand-made rag paper, often set within timber frames with protective glass.

Authentic period engravings feature clear plate marks along the borders from the printing press, chain lines visible within the rag paper, and natural paper toning.

Framed historical maps can be styled above sideboards, integrated into gallery walls, or displayed in studies to introduce tone, texture, and historical interest.

Position the framed paper away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, ensuring acid-free mounting materials and protective glazing are used.
