Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Folk art sculptures from the 19th century are non-academic, handcrafted decorative objects created by self-taught artisans. They reflect regional traditions, everyday subjects, or personal artistic expression rather than formal studio rules.

Artisans predominantly used locally available materials such as softwoods, hardwoods, clay, terracotta, or papier-mache, which were then finished with hand-applied polychrome pigments, beeswax, or gesso.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of genuine age including natural surface oxidation, hand-tool marks from gouges or chisels, paint shrinkage, and light handling wear on bases and raised features.

These sculptural objects serve as compelling accent pieces when arranged on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or sideboard top, adding architectural texture and historical depth to modern or minimalist rooms.

Dust the surfaces gently using a clean, soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or solvents that could dissolve original painted finishes. Keep the objects away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent wood movement.
