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

Art Deco sculpture from the 1920s frequently combined classical figurative forms with stylised geometric or exotic influences, such as Egyptian Revival motifs following archaeological discoveries of the era.

Sculptors often employed contrasting natural stones, combining finely carved white marble for anatomical detail with textured granite, alabaster, or onyx for bases and contextual elements.

Authentic period sculptures display hand-chiselled detailing, natural surface patina, appropriate weight consistent with solid stone, and subtle tool marks rather than modern resin moulding lines.

Position the sculpture on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or open shelving unit where directional lighting can highlight the contrast between the smooth figure and textured base.

Clean the stone surfaces using a dry microfibre cloth or a slightly damp cloth with pH-neutral soap, avoiding acidic chemicals or abrasive polishes that erode marble.
