Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. 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.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. 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.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.

This Edwardian decorative figurine depicts a rural male vendor, styled as the Puppy Seller, holding two young dogs in his arms while a wicker basket containing additional sleeping puppies rests by his boots. The earthenware statuette stands with a high-gloss glazed finish in multicoloured enamels, showing a blue peak cap, a bright yellow shirt, a patterned neckerchief, a brown jacket, grey trousers, and black shoes. Modelled with detailed facial features and hand-painted touches, the piece exhibits crisp figurative modelling throughout its surface. The sculpture measures 19 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. Placed in a home today, it serves as a charming display on a mantelpiece or bookshelf, bringing traditional English country house character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Edwardian ceramics often feature figurative subjects depicting everyday street scenes, trades, and pastoral life, marked by realistic modelling and soft hand-painted glazes.

These figures were typically slip-cast using earthenware or porcelain clay, fired, and then decorated with overglaze or underglaze enamel pigments before receiving a clear protective glaze finish.

Authentic pieces usually feature stamped or printed maker marks on the underside base, fine age-related glaze crazing, and crisp mould details with hand-painted facial features.

Displaying small figurines on a glass-fronted cabinet shelf, a curated mantelpiece, or alongside books in a library setting adds historical interest without overwhelming contemporary decor.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or pony-hair brush, avoiding immersion in water or harsh chemicals which can damage unglazed areas or faint overglaze enamels.
