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.

Popularised in the 19th century, British canine genre painting captured dogs in naturalistic, sporting, or domestic settings, reflecting the Victorian fascination with distinct breeds, hunting, and working animals.

Artists typically painted with oil paints composed of natural pigments on stretched linen or cotton canvas, mounted within carved or moulded wooden frames finished with gold leaf.

Authentic 19th-century oil paintings usually exhibit natural varnish yellowing, fine craquelure across the paint layer, era-appropriate wooden stretcher bars, and period-correct gilded frames.

A Victorian sporting painting can be styled as a focal point above a mantelpiece, incorporated into an eclectic gallery wall, or paired with clean minimalist furnishings to add historical depth.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and heat sources, and dust gently using a soft camel-hair brush rather than liquid cleaners or damp cloths.
