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

During the 19th century, sculptors frequently drew inspiration from historical theatre, commedia dellarte, and medieval court life, producing figures such as jesters, minstrels, and troubadours.

Most 19th-century bronze statues were produced using either the lost-wax casting method (cire perdue) or sand casting, followed by hand-chasing to refine detail and chemical patination to establish the final surface colour.

Authentic period bronzes typically display natural wear patterns to the patina on raised surfaces, fine quality hand-chasing, foundry stamps or maker signatures, and appropriate weight consistent with solid cast metal.

Large bronze sculptures serve as dramatic focal points when positioned in entry foyers, stair landings, or empty architectural alcoves, providing texture and historical depth against contemporary backdrops.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from moisture and oxidisation without using liquid polishes.
