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.
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.
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.

Sino-Tibetan bronzes represent a fusion of Chinese metalcasting traditions and Tibetan Buddhist iconography, characterised by elaborate gilding, detailed jewellery, and lotus pedestals.

These sculptures were typically cast using copper alloys or bronze via the lost-wax method, followed by fire-gilding with a gold-mercury amalgam and embellishment with semi-precious stones or glass beads.

Authenticity is indicated by wear patterns on high-relief areas, evidence of historic casting methods, naturally aged patination, and hand-chased surface details.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or open shelving unit to serve as a focal point alongside neutral textiles and natural wood elements.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive polishes or liquid cleaners that could strip the original gilding and protective patina.
