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

These decorative vessels feature ceramic bodies fitted with gild bronze (ormolu) mounts, popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries in France. Designed in classical styles such as Louis XVI and Empire Revival, they frequently incorporate motifs like cherubs, floral garlands, and fluted columns.

The main vessel consists of glazed ceramic or hard-paste porcelain, decorated with enamel and gilded details. The metal mounts were created using lost-wax or sand-casting in bronze, followed by mercury gilding or electroplating, and attached using internal threaded rods and nuts.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased metalwork with sharp details, age-appropriate oxidation on raw interior metal, and hand-cut screws. Porcelain components typically show hand-painted enamel decoration, glaze variations, and sometimes maker marks beneath the metal mounts.

A classical vessel functions well as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or dining sideboard. Pairing gilded accents against muted wall colours or juxtaposing traditional metalwork with modern minimalist furnishings creates balanced visual contrast.

Dust the item regularly using a soft, dry natural-bristle brush. Avoid using liquid chemical polishes, abrasive pads, or water on gilt bronze surfaces, as moisture can strip delicate original gilding and damage internal iron fixings.
