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

During the late nineteenth century, French manufactories such as Choisy-le-Roi and Sarreguemines produced elaborate decorative ewers influenced by classical shapes and nature motifs. These vessels served both functional dining roles and as prominent decorative display pieces in affluent homes.

These pieces were typically cast from fine earthenware or majolica clay, fired, and finished with lead-based glazes. Decorative elements were added through molded relief, hand-painted enamel illustrations, and delicate gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period ceramics often feature impressed or stamped factory marks on the underside of the base, natural fine crazing within the glaze, and slight irregularities characteristic of hand-painted decoration.

A large decorative ewer works well as a focal accent on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table. Its sculptural silhouette adds classical proportion and historic texture when paired with contemporary art or minimalist decor.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid soaking, hot water, and abrasive chemical cleansers, as these can strip overglaze hand-painting and delicate surface gilding.
