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.

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

Art Deco alabaster sculptures from the 1920s typically depict stylised human forms, particularly dancers and performers, blending classical carving techniques with modernist geometric line work and exotic themes.

Italian sculptors predominantly used fine-grained alabaster sourced from regions like Volterra, often pairing it with contrasting coloured marble bases, bronzed metal accents, or applied dyes to enhance draped garments.

Authentic period pieces exhibit translucent qualities under direct light, detailed hand-carved surface finishing, natural veining within the stone, and period artist signatures or foundry marks along the base.

Display the sculpture on a dark wood credenza, mantelpiece, or backlit pedestal to emphasise the translucent properties of the carved alabaster and create visual contrast against neutral walls.

Clean alabaster using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or light feather duster, avoiding water and liquid chemical cleaners as alabaster is a porous mineral susceptible to dissolution and staining.
