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.

Paintings from this era often exhibit lingering Baroque influences, including dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, emotional expression, and naturalistic rendering of sacred figures. Artists utilised classical iconography, such as fruit or specific garments, to convey deeper theological narratives.

Artists typically painted with hand-ground mineral and organic pigments mixed with linseed or walnut oil. These were applied onto hand-stretched linen or cotton canvas prepared with a gesso primer.

Authentic period canvases usually show age-appropriate craquelure patterns across the paint surface, hand-forged iron tacks along the edges, original wooden stretchers, and natural oxidisation on the reverse of the fabric.

Classical oil paintings create a compelling visual focal point when set against contemporary neutral walls or dark, moody paint shades. Pairing historical figurative art with minimalist furniture creates a sophisticated contrast between classic and contemporary elements.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and areas of high humidity to prevent cracking or warping. Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre brush, and consult a qualified fine art conservator for any cleaning or repair work.
