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

Keep the piece in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and direct heat sources to prevent wood movement and flaking paint. Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, solvents, or chemical polishes.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table where its profile can be appreciated against a neutral backdrop. Pairing it with contemporary minimalist decor or rustic textured surfaces creates a balanced visual contrast.

Authentic pieces display natural wear patterns consistent with age, such as paint loss along high-contact points, shrinkage cracks in the wood grain, and visible hand-carved tool marks. Original painted surfaces often exhibit subtle crazing, discolouration, or patination.

These objects were usually carved from solid local softwoods or hardwoods, often assembled in joined sections for the body, neck, and legs. They were finished with gesso or chalk ground layers before being painted with tempera or oil pigments.

Folk art horse sculptures were typically created by regional artisans or non-professional woodcarvers, serving as decorative figures, toys, or shop displays. They are characterised by simplified forms, hand-carved details, and hand-painted decorative motifs reflecting local craft traditions.
