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.

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

Campana urns are bell-shaped vessels inspired by ancient Roman models, which gained widespread popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as souvenirs collected by European travellers on the Grand Tour.

These decorative vessels typically feature cast bronze with dark patination or gilt finishes, often mounted upon carved marble plinths such as Sienna, Nero Marquina, or Rouge Griotte.

Authentic late 19th-century examples display detailed casting, heavy hand-chased ornamentation, crisp relief details, natural wear to gilt surfaces, and traditional threaded rod construction securing the urn to its marble base.

A pair of classical urns functions effectively as symmetrical accents on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to add vertical interest and historical character.

Maintain patinated and gilt bronze by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax annually, avoiding chemical cleaners that strip gilding or original patination.
