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

Victorian child portraiture typically features formal oil paintings executed on canvas or wooden panel. These works often capture young subjects in traditional period dress, utilizing controlled studio lighting and dark, neutral backgrounds to emphasize facial features.

Paintings from this period were predominantly created using oil pigments on stretched linen or cotton canvas, as well as solid wood panels. Frames were typically crafted from softwood or hardwood with moulded gesso detailing and finished with gilt leaf or wood stain.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit natural age-related craquelure across the paint surface, original timber stretcher bars or wood backing with oxidation, and evidence of hand-carved or hand-gessoed frame construction rather than modern synthetic materials.

A pair of antique portraits can be styled as a focal point above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table. Hanging them symmetrically in a contemporary scheme adds historical contrast and architectural depth.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity. Clean frames gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and consult a professional fine art conservator for surface cleaning or canvas repairs.
