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.
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.
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.

Singerie is a visual genre originating in Western art where monkeys are depicted humorously imitating human behaviour, a popular decorative motif throughout the 18th century across prints, porcelain, and murals.

Antique etchings were printed using oil-based inks on handmade rag paper, usually secured within hand-carved wooden frames finished with oil or water gilding applied over red bole clay.

Authentic period etchings display a distinct plate mark impression around the image border, uneven edges on laid paper, and age-consistent oxidation or foxing without modern printing dot matrices.

Hang the artwork as a focal piece on a dark painted accent wall or group it within a curated gallery wall alongside antique brass sconces and classical architectural drawings.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dust the gilt frame gently with a dry soft brush, and avoid applying liquid glass cleaners directly to the frame or glazing.
