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

British maritime art from this era documents shipping activity along industrial waterways, using layered watercolour washes to capture atmospheric haze, steam, and shifting water reflections.

Artists used mineral and earth pigments bound with gum arabic, applied directly onto heavy cotton rag paper using varying wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques to achieve tonal depth.

Authentic period watercolours feature natural paper ageing, era-appropriate signature styles, hand-applied wash gradations without modern printing dot grids, and period backing or framing marks.

Display maritime art above a dark wood sideboard or within a gallery wall in a study or dining area to add historical character and subtle warmth to contemporary decor.

Position watercolour paintings away from direct sunlight, house them behind non-reflective UV-filtering glass, and maintain steady humidity levels to avoid foxing, fading, or paper movement.
