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.

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

Wax profile portraits, or ceroplastics, are relief sculptures crafted from pigmented beeswax that were popular during the 18th and early 19th centuries to depict likenesses of notable figures before photography.

These miniatures were sculpted or moulded using beeswax combined with pigments and resins for detail, then set against dark glass or fabric backings inside turned wooden frames.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-sculpted details, natural surface oxidisation, and original hand-turned wooden or ebonised frames housing aged glass.

Group them as a gallery arrangement on a narrow wall space or hallway, pairing them with antique silhouettes or framed botanical prints for a historical display.

Display wax portraits away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting or warping, and dust the exterior frame and glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
