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

Architectural capitals serve as the crowning member of a column or pilaster, visually mediating between the vertical support and the horizontal load above. In 19th-century design, capitals often incorporated classical orders alongside elaborate botanical and floral carvings.

Craftsmen typically carved architectural capitals from limestone, sandstone, or marble using traditional masonry chisels. Decorative indoor capitals often featured layered finishes, including gesso, paint, or gold leaf gilding over carved stone structures.

Authentic period pieces display hand-chiselled tool marks, natural weathering, and uneven surface wear consistent with age. Remnants of historical surface treatments, such as original gilding or gesso layers in carved crevices, also indicate genuine antiquity.

Architectural fragments can be displayed as standalone sculptural objects on sideboards, consoles, or mantelpieces. They are frequently utilised as decorative bookends, pedestal bases, or structural elements within modern display cabinetry.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry bristle brush to prevent build-up in detailed carvings. Avoid water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners, particularly on pieces retaining original gilding or delicate historic finishes.
