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

Victorian papier-mache items were produced using pressed paper pulp or layered sheets hardened with linseed oil and heavy lacquering, often decorated with hand-painted pictorial scenes, gilding, or shell ornamentation.

These decorative caskets were manufactured using laminated paper pulp panels coated in dark asphaltum varnish lacquers, decorated with oil paints, metallic bronzing, and leaf gilding.

Authentic mid-19th-century pieces frequently feature a stamped makers mark on the base or rim, exceptionally crisp oil paint miniatures, dense heat-cured lacquer, and complex gilt scrollwork borders.

Display the casket on a sideboard, dressing table, or console desk to serve as a visual focal point, contrasting its detailed artwork against modern neutral finishes.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid moisture, commercial chemical polishes, or solvents that may strip the protective lacquer or damage historical tempera and oil paints.
