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

Produced during the nineteenth century in the Staffordshire potteries region of England, these moulded earthenware figures were created as accessible decorative items for Victorian homes, often depicting animals, historical events, or folk figures.

They were typically crafted from press-moulded white earthenware clay, covered in a clear lead glaze, and painted with overglaze enamel colours, often featuring unpainted flat backs intended for placement against chimneypieces.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit slight surface imperfections, craquelure glaze, light signs of natural wear on the base, and unpainted or minimally detailed reverse sides, alongside period-appropriate enamel wear and internal weighting.

Displaying a pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or open bookshelf creates a classical focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary decor.

Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a natural soft brush; avoid immersing earthenware in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as moisture can enter existing glaze crazing and damage overglaze enamelling.
