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.

Orientalist sculpture of the 19th century features romanticised depictions of Near Eastern, North African, and Middle Eastern subjects, characterised by detailed drapery, traditional attire, and intricate ornamentation.

Polychrome sculptures were crafted by casting the figure in bronze or spelter, followed by the application of cold-painted enamels, lacquers, or patinas to achieve multi-coloured surface finishes.

Authentic period figures display crisp casting details, genuine age-related surface wear, foundry marks or sculptor signatures, and an established weight consistent with cast metal.

A polychrome metal figure functions as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk, adding historical narrative and textured depth to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Dust the surface gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes that could lift the delicate cold-painted pigments.
