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 early 20th century, sculptors moved away from strict classical realism toward stylised human forms, emphasising organic grain, simplified contours, and expressive proportions in natural wood.

These sculptures were typically hand-carved from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak using chisels and gouges, followed by sanding and wax polishing to highlight natural timber variations.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle hand-tool marks, natural age-related timber shrinkage, authentic oxidisation within deep crevices, and a patinated finish developed over decades.

Place the piece on a sideboard, plinth, or wide shelf against a neutral backdrop to create a focal point, pairing it with clean-lined modern furniture for structural contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and keep the sculpture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking or drying; apply clear microcrystalline wax annually.
