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

Produced between 1814 and 1830 during the Bourbon Restoration, these bronzes features detailed chasing, dark patination, and subjects drawn from French history, classical antiquity, and Enlightenment philosophy.

These pieces were typically cast using the lost-wax or sand-casting method in copper-alloy bronze, finished with dark chemical patinas, and mounted on polished marble or slate plinths.

Authentic figures display fine hand-chasing on textiles and facial details, original threaded rod fastenings beneath the plinth, period-appropriate marble bases, and authentic wear to the original surface patina.

Position statuettes as focal accents on a mantelpiece, structured within a bookshelf display, or atop a dark wood desk alongside leather-bound books and brass accessories.

Remove surface dust using a soft dry brush or lint-free cloth. Preserve the original patination by applying microcrystalline wax sparingly, avoiding water, solvents, and abrasive polishing agents.
