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.

This nineteenth-century Sèvres-style comport serves as a decorative centerpiece, taking the form of a footed bowl mounted in gilt bronze. The body comprises a deep cobalt blue porcelain ground accented with intricate gilded foliate ornamentation and framing an inset hand-painted panel depicting figures in a landscape, including a woman in a pink skirt playing a flute alongside seated companions. Gilded ormolu mounts incorporate ornate scrolling handles at either end, while the base features winged cherub figures seated upon scroll feet beneath a turned, acanthus-leaf stem. The entire piece measures 39 cm high, 57 cm wide, and 29 cm deep. Placed upon a sideboard or display table, it functions as a formal decorative accessory for a dining room or drawing room setting.

FAQs

Sevres style porcelain refers to fine ceramics produced by or inspired by the renowned French manufactory, recognisable by vivid ground colours such as cobalt blue, intricate gilded details, and elaborate classical or romantic hand-painted panels.

These decorative vessels typically combined hand-painted glazed porcelain with cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, handles, and sculptural pedestals.

Authentic period pieces exhibit finely detailed hand-painted vignettes with visible brushwork, hand-chased gilt bronze fittings, and characteristic painter or factory marks under the glaze or base.

An antique comport works effectively as a central statement piece on a dining table, sideboard top, or console, providing historical contrast within contemporary interior schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical solvents or abrasive polishes on the gilt bronze, and do not submerge metal-mounted porcelain in water.
