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

Historically, large terracotta oil jars, or amphoras, were utilised across the Mediterranean region for storing and transporting bulk liquids such as olive oil and wine.

Traditional oil jars are crafted from coarse earthenware clay, kiln-fired, and frequently treated with lime washes or glazes, resulting in a dense, weather-resistant finish.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-thrown irregularities, natural surface erosion, mineral crusting, and hand-applied loop handles fused directly to the collar of the vessel.

Place a large oil jar as a focal sculpture in an empty corner, beside a fireplace hearth, or within a hallway to add architectural height and tactile contrast.

Protect terracotta from severe frost exposure to prevent moisture-related spalling, and gently brush the surface dry rather than using chemical cleaners or high-pressure water.
