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

Venetian figure stands originated in 18th and 19th-century Italy as decorative display pedestals and torcheres. Sculpted to represent local motifs, including gondoliers and allegorical figures, they served as functional stands for oil lamps, candelabras, or vases in affluent Venetian residences.

These stands were typically hand-carved from solid hardwoods such as walnut, lime, or pine. They frequently feature detailed carving, ebonised detailing, wax-polished finishes, or gilding and polychrome paint application.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chiseled tool marks, historical wood shrinkage along the grain, original joint construction, and natural wear to the original surface finish or patina, particularly around high-touch areas like the top and base.

A figural stand functions as a striking architectural accent in an entryway, library, or drawing room alcove. It can be paired with a simple table lamp, a trailing houseplant, or displayed as an isolated sculpted artwork.

Dust the detailed carving regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth. Apply a high-grade clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and direct heat sources.
