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.

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

Commercial glass direction signs from the 1920s were manufactured to guide pedestrians to public institutions and commercial establishments, typically featuring reverse-painted glass and clear typography for outdoor visibility.

These signs generally comprised reverse-painted or gilded glass panels fitted into a protective cast or wrought iron frame, equipped with top mounting brackets for hanging perpendicular to a wall or post.

Authentic period signs exhibit age-appropriate oxidisation on the metal casing, period-specific serif font styles, and signs of hand-executed lettering or flaking paint on the reverse of the glass.

A directional sign works well when mounted in a hallway, positioned in a narrow wall space, or integrated into a gallery wall alongside architectural salvage and technical prints.

The front glass surface should be cleaned using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquids on the reverse side to prevent moisture from lifting or degrading the historic paint layer.
