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

Portraiture from the turn of the twentieth century often captured subjects in relaxed, expressive poses, moving away from formal classical rigidness. Artists emphasised delicate brushwork, luminous light effects, and detailed rendering of fabrics and accessories.

Artists typically painted with natural pigment-based oil paints on woven linen or cotton canvas stretched over wooden stretcher bars. Frames were crafted from carved wood or moulded plaster coated in gold leaf gilding.

Authentic works display natural age-related craquelure across the paint surface, historic canvas backing with patina, and original artist signatures or gallery stamps. Inspection under ultraviolet light often reveals historic varnish layers or touch-ups.

An antique portrait hanging above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantel creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern minimalism. It can also serve as an anchor piece within a gallery wall mixed with modern drawings.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and direct heat sources to prevent cracking and warping. Dust gently with a clean, soft feather duster or dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or chemical polish.
