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.

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.

French sculpture from the turn of the 20th century, often associated with the Belle Epoque and Art Nouveau periods, is noted for fluid drapery, romanticised human forms, and a shift towards intimate, decorative figurative pieces designed for residential interiors.

Sculptors frequently utilised fine-grained materials such as alabaster and Carrara marble. Alabaster was especially favoured for smaller domestic carvings due to its relative softness, which allowed for intricate detail, and its soft, translucent qualities when polished.

Authentic pieces generally display subtle natural veining beneath the surface, fine hand-carved detailing around the hair and drapery, and slight natural surface wear or patination consistent with age rather than uniform machine finishing.

An alabaster sculpture works well placed as a focal point on a dark wood sideboard, a marble mantelpiece, or within a lit display cabinet where light can highlight the stones translucency and detailed carving.

Alabaster is a porous and soft mineral that should never be washed with water or liquid cleaners, as moisture can dissolve or dull the surface. Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or a clean microfibre cloth, keeping the object away from high humidity and direct heat.
