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

During the 19th century, particularly within French Neoclassical and Empire movements, ornamental urns made from carved hardstones like onyx and mounted with finely chased gilt bronze were produced as luxurious decorative accents for aristocratic residences.

These decorative vessels were typically fashioned from polished semi-precious stones, such as alabaster, onyx, or marble, paired with mercury-gilded bronze, also known as ormolu, to create striking material contrasts.

Authentic period ormolu features hand-chased detailing, natural surface oxidisation in recessed areas, and hand-cut threaded rods or square nuts securing the mounts to the stone rather than modern machine-made fittings.

Place them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to create balanced architectural interest and introduce a refined, historical element to contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or water on the bronze mounts. Clean polished stone surfaces using a damp cloth with mild pH-neutral soap, drying immediately to prevent staining.
