“ De deugd in het hart

En een meijsje in een d’arm

Werdt men beloond – maar nu niet hallef

The second warm.

During the time of the golden calf,

You were treated, but now not even half.

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.

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

A marble bas-relief plaque is a carved wall panel or sculpture where the raised figures project slightly from a flat stone background, a artistic technique used extensively since classical antiquity and widely produced during the nineteenth century.

Nineteenth-century marble reliefs were hand-carved from solid marble slabs using chisels, gouges, and fine abrasives, frequently mounted within contrasting variegated marble or stone frames secured with masonry pegs or iron clamps.

Authentic antique marble reliefs display evidence of manual tool marks on unpolished reverse surfaces, crisp anatomical undercutting, natural surface patination or subtle oxidisation, and occasionally incised artist signatures along the lower margins.

Position marble relief plaques as focal artwork mounted above a mantlepiece or sideboard, or arrange them on tabletop easels within a library or study to add architectural texture and classical form.

Dust antique marble regularly using a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid detergents, acidic solutions, or abrasive polishes that can degrade the polished surface or dissolve historical patination.
