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 18th century, depictions of cherubs or putti were prominent in Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical design across Europe. These figures were frequently carved from wood or cast in plaster to adorn ecclesiastical interiors, altarpieces, grand estate furniture, and architectural panelling.

Sculptors typically used softwoods such as linden, pine, or lime for hand carving due to their workable grain. The carved wooden base was often covered with a layer of gesso, followed by paint, gilding, or polychrome finishes to give a stone-like or decorative appearance.

Authentic period pieces display distinct hand-carving marks, natural shrinkage cracks along the wood grain, and age-appropriate wear to the paint or gesso layer. The weight, joinery of attached elements like wings, and evidence of historical mounting hardware on the reverse also signal authenticity.

Mounting a carved cherub on a neutral gallery wall or displaying it on a console table creates an intriguing architectural focal point. Pairing historical figurative sculptures with clean-lined modern furniture highlights the texture and patina of the antique piece.

Keep painted wooden figures away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent the gesso and paint from flaking or the wood from warping. Clean gently using a soft, dry bristle brush rather than damp cloths or liquid polish.
