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

Produced in Worcester between 1813 and 1840, Flight, Barr & Barr porcelain is defined by high-grade potting, rich cobalt blue enamels, elaborate gilding, and central hand-painted reserves depicting landscapes, classical figures, or topographical views.

Regency porcelain urns were crafted using soft-paste porcelain or bone china, decorated with hand-applied enamel paint, and finished with burnished mercury gilding alongside detailed raised white enamel beadwork.

Authentic items feature impressed or printed factory marks underneath the base, precise painted reserves, crisp gilding with age-appropriate wear, and characteristic beaded pearl border moulding around rims and necks.

Place the urn on a marble mantelpiece, console table, or within a glass display cabinet to serve as a focal point that contrasts against contemporary neutral backdrops.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid water on porous unglazed areas, and never use liquid detergents or abrasive polishes which can strip historic surface gilding.
