Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Ceramic greyhound and whippet figures gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries, inspired by the popularity of sighthounds among European royalty and aristocracy.

These figures were typically slip-cast using earthenware or porcelain clay before being finished with monochrome glazes, tin glazes, or hand-applied enamel details.

Authentic period pieces often show maker stamps, impressed model numbers, or painter initials on the underside, along with natural crazing in the glaze and fine hand-finished mold seams.

Place the sculpture on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a bookcase alongside modern artwork and books to introduce texture, height, and historical character.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or immersion in water if fine glaze crazing or hairline fractures are present.
