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

Eighteenth-century Meissen animal figures are recognised for their naturalistic modelling, expressive poses, and pioneering hard-paste porcelain construction. Sculptors such as Johann Joachim Kandler studied live subjects in royal menageries to create anatomically observed animal studies.

These figures were sculpted from hard-paste porcelain, composed of kaolin and petuntse, fired at extremely high temperatures. They were subsequently hand-painted using delicate overglaze enamels and fired again to fix the colours.

Authentic pieces typically feature the hand-painted blue crossed swords mark under the glaze on the underside. Period pieces exhibit distinct characteristics including hand-modelled details, press marks, subtle paste imperfections, and characteristic 18th-century enamel palettes.

A porcelain sculpture functions as a refined focal point when positioned on a styled bookshelf, mantelpiece, or inside a glazed display cabinet. Placing it alongside leather-bound books or contemporary minimalism provides compelling textural contrast.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush, paying close attention to delicate applied elements like leaves and flowers. Avoid immersion in water or the use of chemical solvents, as these can compromise old repairs or enamel decoration.
