Rich in colour and narrative, they make a graceful decorative pair, full of Victorian sentiment and charm.

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 crystoleum is a Victorian method of hand-tinting photographs by adhering an albumen print face-down onto convex glass, removing the paper backing until transparent, and applying oil paint layers to the reverse side.

Crystoleums were created using convex glass plates, albumen photographic prints, starch pastes, transparentising wax or oil, and oil paints applied directly to the back of the glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit a three-dimensional depth produced by the curved glass surface, oil paint backings visible under inspection, and original late 19th-century gilt wood or gesso framing.

Position them symmetrically above a console table, alongside contemporary artwork on a gallery wall, or within a quiet alcove to highlight the contrast between historical framing and modern furnishings.

Display the pictures away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dusting the frames with a dry brush and cleaning the glass front using a soft, lint-free cloth without liquid solvents.
