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.

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.

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.

The Animalier movement originated in nineteenth-century France, characterized by artists creating detailed, anatomically accurate small-scale bronzes of wild and domestic animals. These figures gained popularity across Europe as desktop ornaments and decorative library pieces.

Silvered bronzes were initially cast using the lost-wax or sand casting method to capture fine surface detail. The finished bronze object was then electroplated or fitted with a thin layer of silver before being mounted onto a polished stone or marble plinth.

Authentic pieces exhibit sharp hand-chased surface details in the fur or skin texture, heavy density appropriate for solid metal, and natural rubbing where silvering thins to reveal darker underlying bronze or patination at raised high points.

A small bronze sculpture provides visual weight on an office desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf. Pairing metal and marble accents alongside leather-bound books or natural timber surfaces complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush to clean detailed crevices. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or liquid cleaners, as these can strip the delicate silver plating and damage unsealed marble surfaces.
