Archival Detail
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.

In 16th-century architecture, timber brackets or corbels were weight-bearing supports mounted on exterior or interior walls to hold up jettying upper floors, roof timbers, or mantle beams. They were frequently carved with decorative, mythological, or grotesque figures.

Corbels from the medieval and early modern periods were predominantly crafted from dense, locally sourced hardwoods such as European oak, or carved directly from structural building stone like limestone and sandstone.

Authentic period corbels exhibit hand-tooling marks such as gouge and adze indents, deep natural patination, timber shrinkage, and historic wear or woodworm flight holes consistent with centuries of exposure and structural use.

Architectural corbels are often mounted as wall-art sculptures, used to frame doorways or fireplaces, or fitted beneath mantelpieces and shelving units to add historic depth and architectural interest to a contemporary room.

Maintain historical oak by keeping it in a stable environment away from excess humidity or direct heat sources. Dust gently with a soft brush and apply a high-quality beeswax paste occasionally to protect the timber surface.
