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 an artwork created using a process developed in the late 19th century, where an albumen photograph is pasted face-down onto concave glass, rendered translucent with wax, and hand-painted from the back.

They were crafted using a photographic print mounted directly to a convex glass panel, backed with a secondary glass layer, and layered with oil pigments before being mounted into a moulded gilt frame.

Authentic examples feature curved or concave glass, visual depth created by separation between the image and back paint layer, period wooden backing boards, and natural age-related toning.

Framed historical prints in gilded frames create striking contrast when hung on dark painted accent walls or integrated into layered gallery walls alongside neutral contemporary artwork.

Display the print away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent pigment degradation, and dust the frame lightly with a soft brush without using liquid chemical cleaners.
