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 bronze sculptures are characterised by streamlined forms, stylised realistic figures, and modern thematic subjects that reflected early 20th-century culture.

Artisans primarily cast figures in bronze, often incorporating patinated or painted surfaces, anchored onto polished marble or onyx plinths.

Authentic pieces display crisp casting details, refined hand-finishing, maker signatures or foundry marks near the base, and secure mounting onto natural stone bases.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, console table, or dark wood bookshelf where ambient lighting can highlight its patinated surface and silhouette.

Dust the statue regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid liquid chemical cleaners, and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the metal patina and stone surface.
