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 from this era feature streamlined geometry, stylized musculature, classical mythology motifs, and dark patinated finishes, often raised on contrasting marble plinths.

Pieces from this period were cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques, finished with chemical patination, and mounted on dark marble or onyx bases.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial weight, hand-chased surface details, distinct patination wear, and original marble mounting with period-appropriate fixing construction.

Position the piece as a focal point on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk to highlight its dramatic silhouette and metallic tones against neutral backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patination from oxidisation and moisture.
