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.

Regency era portraiture typically features prominent political or societal figures depicted with defined facial details, direct lighting, and formal period attire such as white cravats and dark tailored coats.

Artists used oil pigments mixed with natural drying oils on stretched linen or cotton canvas, framed within hand-carved or moulded gilded wooden frames.

Authentic period portraits display uniform craquelure across the paint surface, historic oxidisation on the back of the canvas, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery on the wooden stretcher bars.

A historical portrait can be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece, positioned in a library setting, or styled as a central feature above a timber sideboard to create visual contrast.

Preserve the canvas by displaying it away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry brush, and consulting a professional restorer for varnish removal.
