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 reverse glass mezzotint, popular in the 18th century, is created by adhering a printed mezzotint face down onto glass, removing the paper backing with water until transparent, and hand-painting oil colours onto the reverse side.

These pieces were produced using copperplate prints on paper, glass sheets, organic resin adhesives such as varnish, and oil-based pigments applied directly to the glass substrate.

Authentic period examples display hand-blown glass containing slight imperfections or air bubbles, craquelure within the hand-painted reverse layer, and period-correct wooden frames with pine backing boards.

Place the framed piece on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table alongside contemporary minimalist decor to contrast historic craftsmanship with clean modern lines.

Dust the front glass gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or water that could penetrate the frame edges, and keep the object away from direct sunlight and moisture.
