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.
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.

Regency portrait artwork typically dates from the early 19th century and features realistic human likenesses, often depicted in high-collared attire, empire-waist dresses, and classic hairstyles of the era.

Artists during this period primarily used graphite pencils, charcoal, or ink on woven paper, often presented within polished wood frames featuring gilded inner slips.

Authentic pieces display period-correct clothing details, hand-drawn graphite lines visible under magnification, natural paper yellowing, and period moulding construction.

These framed drawings can be displayed as a pair above a sideboard, arranged in a gallery wall, or placed on a library shelf to introduce historical character.

Keep framed works away from direct sunlight and humidity, clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth, and ensure acid-free mounting materials are used inside the frame.
