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

Recumbent or seated stone lions have traditionally flanked entrance gates and driveways since antiquity, symbolising power, protection, and classical architecture during the Georgian and Victorian eras.

Historically, garden and gate statues were hand-carved from natural sandstone, limestone, or marble, or cast using reconstituted stone mixtures designed for durability against outdoor weathering.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural surface weathering, lichen or moss accumulation, hand-chiselled detailing, and uneven wear patterns characteristic of prolonged outdoor exposure.

In modern outdoor settings, paired stone lions can be positioned atop brick or stone gate pillars, flanking a main entrance doorway, or placed within low formal hedging to provide structural focus.

To clean stone statues, use soft-bristled brushes with clean water rather than harsh chemical detergents, and ensure proper drainage during winter months to prevent freeze-thaw damage.
