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

Marble column pedestals gained widespread popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, inspired by classical Greco-Roman architecture. They were crafted to elevate and present marble busts, bronzes, or decorative urns in grand reception rooms, grand hallways, and galleries.

These pieces typically combine polished variegated or monolithic marbles, such as Breccia or Rouge Royale, with cast ormolu (gilt bronze or brass) collars, capitals, and bases. Internal structural stability is maintained using iron threaded central rods.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature heavy solid marble sections, hand-chased metal castings with subtle surface variation, and signs of aged patination or oxidisation on the gilt surfaces. Threading on metal fittings often displays historical hand-machined irregularities.

Place a symmetrical pair to frame architectural elements such as doorways, fireplaces, or window alcoves. They function well supporting contemporary sculptures, classical busts, or oversized ceramic vessels to add vertical interest to a space.

Clean marble surfaces using a soft cloth dampened with pH-neutral water, avoiding acidic solutions that damage polished stone. Ormolu mounts should be dusted dry with a soft brush to prevent removing the protective gilt layer.
