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

Early 20th-century Spanish terracotta figures are rooted in regional folk art traditions, often depicting traditional characters such as matadors, dancers, or street vendors, and are finished with cold-painted polychrome pigments.

These pieces were crafted from local earthenware clay, moulded or hand-modelled, fired in kilns, and subsequently hand-painted with mineral pigments or enamels to highlight decorative details.

Authentic period terracotta typically exhibits natural pigment wear, minor surface flaking, evidence of hand-tooling or mould seams, and an unglazed, porous clay base displaying subtle age-related discolouration.

A figural terracotta piece functions as an accent on a sideboard, fireplace hearth, or deep window sill, where its structured form and rich colour palette contrast with contemporary minimalist surfaces.

Dust the surface lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or damp cloths which can dissolve cold-applied paints and compromise historic pigments.
