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 urns draw inspiration from classical Greek and Roman antiquity, often featuring gadrooned borders, classical relief bands, and sculptural finials. They were frequently acquired during the 18th and 19th centuries as Grand Tour souvenirs.

Classical urns were crafted using lost-wax casting in bronze, often combined with mercury-gilded bronze or brass ormolu accents to create high contrast between patinated dark metal and bright gilded highlights.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased relief work, sharp details in the casting, multi-part construction joined by original threaded rods, and natural oxidisation in protected crevices.

Classical bronze urns are frequently placed on mantelpieces, sideboards, or console tables to add architectural silhouette and historical weight to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Chemical cleansers, metal polishes, and water should be avoided to protect the original patination and gilded finish.
