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

Lion paw motifs originate from classical antiquity, where they were traditionally incorporated into Roman furniture, sarcophagi, and architectural features as symbols of strength and authority. The style experienced major revivals during the Renaissance and Neoclassical periods, particularly across Italy.

Sculptors carved pieces from solid blocks of Italian Carrara marble using hand chisels, gouges, and rasps to shape detailed features such as claws and muscular form. Surfaces were smoothed with abrasive stones and hand-polished to highlight the natural veining of the mineral.

Authentic 19th-century carved marble exhibits natural surface wear, minor weathering marks, and hand-chiseled details rather than uniform machine production. Surface oxidisation, subtle discolouration, and historical mounting points or pin holes also indicate age.

A carved stone fragment functions as a tactile sculptural accent on a tabletop, shelf, or mantelpiece. Setting natural grey marble against modern wood or metal surfaces creates visual contrast between historical form and modern materials.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean microfibre cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners, chemical detergents, and abrasive tools, as these can permanently etch the calcite structure of natural marble.
