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

A French ormolu centrepiece is an ornamental tabletop vessel crafted from gilt bronze, often featuring cast figural elements and combined with glass or porcelain bowls, designed to serve as a focal point on formal dining tables.

These decorative objects are constructed primarily from bronze coated in a thin layer of gold using fire-gilding techniques, frequently paired with hand-cut or molded lead crystal and glass elements.

Authentic pieces display detailed hand-chasing, heavy cast bronze construction, and natural wear or oxidisation in crevices rather than a uniform modern lacquer finish.

A gilt bronze centrepiece can be placed as a standalone accent on a polished sideboard, dining table, or marble fireplace mantel to introduce historical contrast within contemporary spaces.

Dust gilt bronze regularly with a soft, dry brush, avoiding liquid polishes or chemical cleaners that degrade the original gilding; glass components should be cleaned separately with mild warm soapy water.
