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

Originally created as decorative radiator cap ornaments during the early motoring era, metal car mascots often depicted iconic figures, heraldic emblems, or institutional mascots.

Most early twentieth-century car mascots and desk figures were cast in solid bronze, brass, or spelter using the lost-wax casting method, often finished with a dark patination.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp casting details, natural surface wear or oxidisation in recessed areas, accurate period lettering, and a substantial weight.

Small bronze sculptures function effectively as accent objects displayed on executive office desks, library bookshelves, or side tables, offering historical texture.

Dust gently using a soft-bristled brush or clean microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive compounds that could alter the original protective patina.
