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

Cherub doorstops are decorative, weighted metal objects used to secure doors open, popularised during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They feature figurative representations of putti or cherubs cast in solid bronze or brass.

These items were manufactured using sand casting or lost-wax casting methods with molten bronze. Details were finished by hand-chasing, followed by the application of dark patination and optional gilt accents.

Authentic period pieces display substantial physical weight, precise casting definition along facial features and foliage, and natural surface wear from age rather than uniform artificial paint.

In addition to their functional purpose near entryways, these sculpted objects can be styled as bookends, mantelpiece accents, or decorative features on low shelving units.

Regular dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth maintains the surface. Chemical cleaners should be avoided to prevent damage to the original patina, though a light coat of microcrystalline wax may be applied to protect against oxidisation.
