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

The Mandalay style, which developed in Myanmar during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterised by naturalistic facial features, broad headbands, and elaborate, flowing drapery with decorative mirror mosaic trim.

These sculptures are typically carved from teak or softwood, coated with layers of black thayo lacquer paste, decorated with glass or mirror mosaic inlays, and finished with applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved wood joinery beneath the lacquer, subtle age-related wear to the gold leaf showing underlying dark lacquer, and hand-cut glass or mirror mosaic embellishments along robe borders.

Sculptural figures of this scale function well as focal pieces placed on a dark wooden sideboard, within a minimalist display niche, or atop a hallway console table alongside simple neutral ceramics.

Clean gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to remove dust from crevices. Avoid water, liquid polishes, or chemical cleaners, which can degrade the lacquer, loosen mosaic pieces, or strip fragile gold leafing.
