Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.
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.
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.

19th-century French Chinoiserie decorative items reflect a Western artistic interpretation of East Asian traditions. These bronze works frequently combine stylized figurative subjects wearing traditional attire with European metal casting techniques and functional elements such as candle nozzles.

These pieces were typically produced using copper-alloy bronze cast via sand or lost-wax techniques. Surface finishes often featured chemical patination or hand-chasing to define fine drapery, facial expressions, and decorative base motifs.

Authentic period bronzes display crisp hand-chased details, natural surface patination with uneven wear in handled areas, and noticeable physical weight. Casting seams are typically well-filed or invisible, and thread patterns on internal rods reflect hand-machined 19th-century construction.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or marble console table adds historical structure to a space. They function effectively alongside contemporary artwork or simplified backdrop elements to create visual balance.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid abrasive metal polishes and chemical cleaners that strip the original patina; a light application of clear microcrystalline wax can be applied periodically to seal the metal surface.
