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 Louis XIV style bolection fire surround is defined by its heavy, raised convex moulding projecting beyond the wall surface, framing the fireplace opening with bold classical symmetry developed in 17th-century France.

Bolection surrounds are traditionally carved from solid quarried marbles, limestone, or dense hardwoods, featuring mitred joints at the upper corners and anchored onto sturdy masonry plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks on unseen rear surfaces, original iron fixing cramp marks, subtle surface patination, and natural veining consistent with historic European quarries.

The clean, geometric profile of a bolection surround allows it to seamlessly anchor both traditional schemes and minimalist modern spaces, serving as a sculptural focal point against neutral walls.

Clean marble using pH-neutral stone soap and soft microfibre cloths, avoiding acidic substances or abrasive cleaners, and apply clear stone wax periodically to protect against staining.
