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 18th century, European cartography evolved from artistic representation to precise spatial documentation, driven by copperplate engraving. Regional maps were commissioned to detail territorial borders, topography, and maritime access across Italian principalities and European states.

Historical maps were typically printed using oil-based or iron gall inks on laid rag paper composed of linen or cotton fibres. Framed examples are protected behind glass and enclosed in timber surrounds, such as dark oak or walnut.

Authentic period map prints exhibit a visible plate mark impression along the perimeter created by the copperplate press. The paper often displays chain lines, watermarks, and characteristic signs of age such as oxidation or mild foxing.

A large-scale historical map acts as an anchor piece when positioned above a sideboard, console, or writing desk. The neutral tones of antique paper complement both dark timber antiques and contemporary minimal furnishings.

To preserve paper cartography, display the frame away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent discolouration or warping. Gently dust the frame with a dry microfibre cloth and clean the glass with a lightly moistened cloth, avoiding liquid contact with the backing.
