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

Art Deco figurative sculpture from the 1920s and 1930s emphasises streamlined forms, geometric simplicity, and dynamic movement, often depicting athletes, dancers, and modern figures.

Sculptors typically cast these pieces in bronze or spelter, often finishing them with patination or enamel detailing before mounting them on marble, onyx, or polished timber bases.

Authentic period pieces feature sharp casting definition, era-appropriate foundry marks or signatures, natural age-related patina, and authentic wood or stone bases showing minor historic wear.

Place the sculpture as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk where its dark silhouette contrasts against light neutral backdrops or alongside minimalist modern accessories.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, and keep the object away from high humidity to protect the original finish.
