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

Provincial English School portraiture often features folk art characteristics, rendered by regional or itinerant artists operating outside major academic institutions like the Royal Academy.

Artists typically applied oil pigments bound in linseed oil onto stretched linen canvas, housing the completed work within moulded timber frames finished with plaster ornament and gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period works display natural craquelure across the paint layer, uniform varnish discolouration from age, and original stretched canvas held by hand-cut tacks or wooden stretcher keys.

Position the framed canvas as a focal point above a console table or mantelpiece, or integrate it into an eclectic gallery wall to create historical contrast against contemporary decor.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight, damp conditions, and direct heat sources, dusting the frame lightly with a soft brush while avoiding chemical cleaners on the paint surface.
