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.

A Georgian reverse glass print is an 18th-century artwork created by transferring a paper engraving or mezzotint onto glass, making the paper transparent, and painting colours onto the reverse side.

Craftsmen used hand-blown glass plates, paper prints, oil-based pigments, and organic adhesives, framed within wood mouldings featuring ebonised finishes and gilded slips.

Authentic period examples demonstrate uneven hand-blown glass, subtle paint craquelure visible from the reverse, period wood backings, and original timber frame construction.

Place the artwork as a focal feature above a fireplace mantelpiece, within a gallery wall, or situated alongside dark wood period furniture to add historical contrast.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dusting the front glass gently with a soft dry cloth while avoiding moisture on the rear paint layer.
