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.

This nineteenth-century French crystoleum depicts an eighteenth-century court gathering and bridal party scene behind a convex glass panel with reverse hand-colouring. The artwork comes housed in an ornate carved and pierced gilt wood frame displaying a bright gold finish and intricate raised scrollwork mouldings along the outer and inner borders. The interior paper scene showcases multiple figures in period costumes rendered in soft muted multi-colour tones including cream, blue, and brown. Measuring 38 cm by 52.5 cm, the wall art suits placement in a traditional living room, hallway, or study, typically hung above a sideboard to create a period focal point.

FAQs

A crystoleum is a late 19th-century decorative photographic artwork produced by adhering an albumen print face-down onto the back of a concave glass sheet.

The paper backing of a photographic print was rubbed away until transparent, saturated with wax or oil, and then hand-coloured from behind using oil paints to create depth.

Authentic pieces feature a distinct three-dimensional appearance beneath convex glass, often set within heavy period frames with visible hand-applied paint layers on the reverse.

Mount the artwork above modern cabinetry or pair it with minimal gallery-style lighting to contrast classic period subjects against contemporary backdrops.

Clean the front glass gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or moisture that could penetrate the frame edges and damage the backing layers.
