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

A herm, or term, is a square or tapered architectural pillar surmounted by a carved bust or head, originating in ancient Greece and revived during the Renaissance and Neoclassical periods.

Dense hardwoods such as chestnut, oak, and walnut were frequently selected by woodcarvers due to their tight grain, durability, and ability to hold crisp detail.

Authentic nineteenth-century carvings exhibit hand-tool marks, natural timber shrinkage along the grain, uneven patination from handling, and historic joinery rather than modern machine cuts.

These sculptural elements can be mounted directly on narrow wall spaces, displayed on a mantelpiece, or integrated into bespoke joinery and library shelving for texture and classical structure.

Keep timber carvings away from direct heat sources or high humidity, dust them regularly with a soft dry brush, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly to preserve the patination.
