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

Wallpaper printing blocks were utilised in 18th and 19th-century manufacturing to hand-stamp repeating decorative patterns onto continuous rolls of paper using pigment.

These blocks were constructed from heavy, multi-layered hardwood to prevent warping, featuring hand-hammered brass strips and tiny brass pins driven into the wood to form fine pattern outlines.

Authentic period blocks typically show hand-shaped brass inserts, pitch-filled felt details, pitch staining from ink pigments, and recessed pitch-holding grooves along the wooden edges for handling.

An antique printing block functions as a tactile sculptural object when styled on a bookshelf, sideboard top, or mounted within a shadow box frame as decorative wall art.

Preserve the piece by dusting it regularly with a dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleansers, and displaying it in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
