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.

British marine watercolours from the early 20th century focus on coastal landscapes, busy harbours, and working vessels, capturing atmospheric conditions and natural light using fluid washes and tonal precision.

Artists used water-based pigments applied to heavy cotton rag paper, often executing initial under-drawings in graphite or ink before applying washes of translucent colour.

Authenticity is verified through legibility of artist signatures, contemporary gallery labels on the backing, characteristic paper aging, and consistency with known historical subject matter.

Nautical watercolours look effective hung individually above sideboards or desks, or grouped in gallery walls alongside complementary muted landscapes and antique wood furnishings.

Display watercolours away from direct sunlight under UV-protective glass, ensure acid-free backing materials are used during framing, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent paper foxing.
