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.

Neoclassical metalwork draws direct inspiration from classical antiquity, specifically ancient Greek and Roman art. Common design elements include symmetrical forms, mythological figures, relief scenes, and classical motifs such as quadrigas, foliage, and winged grotesques.

During the 19th century, artisans primarily used cast bronze, brass, spelter, and copper, often embellished with gilt, silvering, or dark patination. Castings were hand-chased and finished to create high-relief figures and defined border details.

Authentic 19th-century bronze items typically exhibit natural surface wear, detailed hand-chasing, and subtle oxidisation in low-relief areas. Inspecting the reverse side often reveals signs of period casting techniques, hand-tooling marks, or historic mounting fixtures.

Small decorative platters can be displayed upright on a plate stand atop a sideboard, integrated into a gallery wall display, or laid flat on a coffee table or console table as a decorative catchall tray.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and metal polishes that can strip natural patination; a thin application of clear microcrystalline wax provides surface protection.
