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

Popularised in nineteenth-century France, animalier bronzes focused on accurate anatomical depictions of animals, frequently used as functional desk paperweights or mantelpiece ornaments.

These figures were cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chased detailing and chemical patination to achieve dark brown and green surface oxidation.

Authentic pieces display crisp chasing around finer features, realistic anatomical proportions, visible casting lines, and natural age-related patina or verdigris in recessed areas.

Place the figure atop a stack of hardback books on a table, position it alongside desk stationery in a home office, or display it on a bookshelf to add historical texture.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry bristle brush, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasive polishes that strip the historical oxidised surface layer.
