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

A reverse glass picture, or glass transfer print, is an artwork created by applying paint or transferring an engraved print onto the back of a sheet of glass so that it is viewed from the unpainted front surface.

These items were made using hand-blown sheet glass, oil paints, translucent pigments, and varnish, typically set within solid timber frames such as birds eye maple or mahogany with gilded inner slips.

Authentic period examples display subtle air bubbles in hand-blown glass, gentle flaking or craquelure in the rear paint layers, and original timber backboards held by handmade tacks.

Position the piece within a traditional study, hallway, or reading nook alongside dark timber furniture, leather upholstery, and brass accents to complement its historical character.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, dusting the frame gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding liquid cleaners that could seep behind the glass.
