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.

During the 19th century, French bronze founding reached a peak in execution, driven by lost-wax and sand-casting processes. Sculptors created genre scenes, classical figures, and narrative character studies cast in patinated bronze for private collectors.

These figures were cast using copper alloys, finished by hand with chasing tools to refine drapery and facial features, and patinated using chemical solutions to achieve brown, dark, or multi-tone surfaces.

Authentic pieces generally feature foundry stamps or crisp artist signatures cast into the base, precise hand-chased details in the hair and clothing, and natural wear to the patina along raised surfaces.

Position the sculpture on a marble console table, dark timber desk, or lit bookshelf alcove to allow directional light to highlight the cast contours and patinated finish.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft bristles, and occasionally apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the surface against oxidisation and moisture.
