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.

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

Eighteenth-century European portraiture was characterised by formal poses, detailed depiction of textiles, and subjects dressed in contemporary attire such as powdered wigs and tailored coats. These artworks served to document ancestry, social status, and professional standing during the Georgian and Rococo eras.

Artists typically used oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, finished with natural resin varnishes. Frames were constructed from carved wood coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf gilding or dark paint.

Authentic works display age-appropriate craquelure patterns across the paint surface, natural canvas discolouration on the reverse, and aged timber stretchers with period-appropriate joinery. Examination of pigment composition and varnish oxidisation provides further verification.

Position the framed portrait as a central focal point against a dark background, such as dark green or navy. Contrast the historic artwork with minimalist contemporary furniture or classic dark timber tables.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, heating sources, and fluctuating humidity to prevent paint cracking or canvas warping. Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft brush, and avoid water or domestic cleaning products.
