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

Porcelain figures should be dusted regularly with a soft, clean brush or microfiber cloth to prevent dirt build-up in detailed areas. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, abrasive sponges, or submerging the pieces in water, as moisture can compromise delicate cold gilding or enamel overglaze.

A pair of decorative figures can be displayed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, within a glass cabinet, or alongside books on a curated shelf. Their vibrant enamel colours and historical forms provide visual texture and interest when placed against modern, minimalist, or traditional backdrops.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the body weight, glaze texture, and incised or painted factory marks on the underside of the base. Period examples feature refined hand-painted facial details, delicate gilding wear consistent with age, unglazed raw bases or specific workshop monograms, and crisp mold lines.

These figures were cast in hard-paste porcelain using kaolin clay to achieve a durable, white ceramic body. The details were hand-painted using overglaze mineral enamel pigments, followed by precise application of gold leaf or fluid gilding before multiple firings in low-temperature kilns.

Old Paris, or Vieux Paris, refers to porcelain produced by over thirty independent workshops around Paris from the mid-18th century through the mid-19th century. These workshops, including factories like La Coutille, produced high-grade hard-paste porcelain featuring elaborate polychrome hand-painting, rich gilded decoration, and ornate figurative modeling.
