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

Figures from this era frequently depict martial deities, guardians, or legendary commanders rendered in structured armor with flowing ribbons and expressive facial features, produced using lost-wax or sand casting techniques.

These sculptures were cast in bronze alloy and often finished with cold-painted pigments, lacquer, or mercury gilding to highlight detail on the armour and robes.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as genuine surface oxidation, wear to gilding or polychrome layers, hand-tooled chased details, and casting seam marks consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

A bronze sculpture can be positioned on a dark wood sideboard, within a structured bookshelf display, or alongside contemporary ceramics to create a focal point grounded in historical contrast.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush or cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishing materials, as these will permanently strip remaining paint, lacquer, and original patina.
