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

The eagle was officially adopted by Napoleon I in 1804 as the supreme emblem of the First French Empire, inspired by the legionary standards of ancient Rome to represent military authority and imperial power.

Sculptures from this era were typically hand-carved from timber, coated with layers of gesso plaster, and finished with gold leaf using traditional water gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-tooling, natural timber expansion lines beneath the gesso, and genuine surface oxidisation or rubbing to the gilt finish in high-wear areas.

A substantial giltwood carving acts as a architectural focal point when positioned on a grand console table, sideboard, or fireplace mantelpiece within both classic and eclectic interior schemes.

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a soft dry brush, keeping the object away from moisture or damp cloths which dissolve water-soluble gesso bases.
