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.
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.
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.

Hand-crafted primarily during the nineteenth century in slate-mining regions such as Wales, these models were fashioned by quarrymen as personal folk art projects, apprentice demonstration pieces, or gifts.

They are carved from blocks of natural slate, featuring detailed incised line work, shaped pilasters, and fitted small metal or brass knobs.

Genuine historical examples show hand-tool carving marks, natural stone texture variations, period-appropriate brass fittings, and smooth wear along high-touch surfaces.

Position the piece on a curated bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table alongside books and brass objects to highlight its dark stone texture and graphic outline.

Maintain the stone by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding water or harsh chemical cleaners that could strip original waxes or tarnish metal components.
