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

Vienna style porcelain of the late nineteenth century is defined by classical mythological iconography, heavy gilding, precise geometric patterns, and rich ground colours such as cobalt blue or maroon. These items were inspired by classical antiquity and featured fine hand-painted panel artwork.

These pieces were crafted from hard-paste porcelain fired at high temperatures. The body was decorated using enamel paints for detailed figure painting, liquid gold or raised gold paste gilding, and deep mineral glazes.

Authentic pieces often bear a hand-painted or stamped beehive or shield mark under the glaze on the underside. High craftsmanship is evident in precise gold work, smooth glaze application, and finely rendered painted scenes rather than transfer prints.

A porcelain urn of this scale functions effectively as a focal point on a credenza, sideboard, or mantelpiece. Pairing it with streamlined modern furniture or muted background tones highlights its intricate gilding and structural silhouette.

Dust the surface regularly using a clean, soft, dry microfiber brush. Avoid liquid cleaners, abrasives, or immersion in water, as moisture and friction can wear away delicate raised gilding and overglaze enamel painting.
