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

During the 19th century, merchants across France used carved wooden trade signs to visually communicate their trade to passers-by, many of whom were illiterate. Sculpted figures such as roosters were commonly placed outside or inside shops like taverns, poulterers, and general merchants.

These pieces were typically carved from solid local hardwoods like oak, walnut, or beech. They were subsequently finished with polychrome paint layerings and fitted with forged iron rings or brackets for secure suspension.

Authentic signs demonstrate genuine hand-carving marks, natural wood shrinkage along the grain, and authentic surface wear with layers of original paint showing age-appropriate flaking and oxidisation. The metal mounting hardware often displays hand-forged traits.

An antique shop sign makes an effective focal point when mounted on a neutral feature wall above a sideboard, placed within a kitchen alcove, or displayed on floating shelving to complement rustic and country interior schemes.

Keep the object in a stable climate away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent wood movement. Dust gently using a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical solvents or water, which can damage original paint layers.
