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

Produced primarily by Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, Germany, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these plaques frequently feature Art Nouveau and Jugendstil designs, including folklore illustrations, mythical figures, and detailed nature scenes.

Mettlach plaques were manufactured using stoneware or earthenware, incorporating techniques such as relief-moulded borders, etched patterns, hand-painted details, and chromolithography under a protective glaze.

Authentic examples feature impressed factory marks on the reverse, such as the Mettlach Abbey mark, specific shape numbers, date codes, and artist signatures integrated directly into the surface illustration.

Mount the plaques on a neutral feature wall, arrange them as part of a gallery wall composition, or display them on a picture ledge alongside contemporary art to create contrast.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If cleaning is required, wipe gently using warm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, and full immersion in water.
