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

Classical water carrier statues represent allegorical or mythological female figures holding jugs or basins, popularised during the Neoclassical movement to emulate Greco-Roman sculpture.

These sculptures were produced by pouring liquid plaster of Paris into multi-piece waste moulds or piece moulds, often incorporating internal metal armatures for structural reinforcement.

Authentic period plaster exhibits faint seam lines from original multi-part moulds, soft hand-tooled finishing along drapery edges, and natural surface patination or light pitting.

Position the figure as a structural focal point in an empty corner, entry foyer, or alcove, allowing its textured architectural silhouette to contrast against contemporary backdrops.

Maintain plaster pieces in dry indoor environments and remove accumulated dust using only a soft, clean brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water which can soften the material.
