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

During the 18th century, European nobility developed a fascination with Ottoman cultural motifs, known as Turquerie, which influenced artistic output across major porcelain manufactories including Meissen.

These pieces were molded from hard-paste porcelain, assembled by hand, fired at high temperatures, and individually decorated with overglaze polychrome enamels and gold leaf accents.

Authentic period examples typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark, crisp sculptural modeling, precise hand-painted enamel detail, and characteristic hard-paste translucent paste quality.

These decorative figures are commonly displayed within glazed vitrines, arranged symmetrically on a sideboard top, or placed as focal accents on a formal dining table.

Dust figures gently with a soft dry brush, avoid immersion in water to protect fragile enamel and gilding, and refrain from using abrasive cleaning chemicals.
