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.

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.

A commandment panel, often created for Victorian churches or tin tabernacles, is an ecclesiastical wall plaque displaying biblical scripture rendered in decorative illuminated calligraphy framed within timber moulding.

These panels were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak or pitch pine, with hand-applied gold leaf illumination, oil pigments, and painted lettering on canvas or timber boards.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery on the timber frame, hand-rendered calligraphy showing natural paint craquelure, and traditional Gothic Revival motifs such as pointed arches, quatrefoils, and fleur-de-lis flourishes.

Mount the vertical panel as a focal point in an entryway, library, or hallway to provide historical architectural interest and strong graphic contrast against neutral or dark wall paint.

Dust the timber frame gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and ensure the painted surface remains free from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity to prevent cracking or paint flaking.
