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

Planters from this period frequently display intricate repousse or chased hand-carved decoration depicting mythical creatures, such as dragons, alongside floral motifs and foliage. They were crafted both for domestic export and international trade, reflecting traditional craftsmanship.

Zinc linings were installed inside copper and brass planters to prevent direct contact between damp soil, water, and the outer decorative metal. This moisture barrier protects the brass from rapid interior oxidisation and corrosion.

Authentic period metalwork exhibits visible hand-worked details, variance in metal thickness, seam joins, and genuine patination in crevices. Weight, casting marks, and original metal inserts such as removable zinc linings also help verify period construction.

A metallic trough planter works effectively as a table centrepiece or window display filled with indoor greenery, orchids, or succulents. Placing it on dark wood furniture or stone surfaces highlights the contrast of the textured metalwork.

Dust the exterior surfaces using a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip developed patina. Ensure the zinc lining remains dry when not holding potted plants to prevent standing water damage.
