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.
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.

A tazza or centrepiece bowl is an elevated decorative vessel designed to display fruit, flowers, or serve as a standalone focal point on a dining table or sideboard. During 19th-century France, these pieces were crafted as luxurious display items combining polished hardstones with ornate metal mounts.

Champleve enamelling involves carving cells into metal surfaces, filling them with vitreous enamel powder, and firing them before polishing flush. Gilt bronze mounts were then cast and gilded to frame carved stone components such as green onyx, securing the assembly with internal rod mechanisms.

Authentic French champleve enamel from the 19th century features fine line casting with opaque, deeply saturated enamel colours such as turquoise, cobalt, and ruby red. Genuine period pieces demonstrate fine mercury gilding on bronze mounts and hand-carved stone with natural veins and historic patina.

Place the piece on a dark wood sideboard, marble fireplace mantelpiece, or dining room table to allow the soft green tones and gilt highlights to contrast against neutral walls. It functions effectively as a standalone architectural accent or anchor piece within a classical vignettes.

Clean stone and enamel surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding acidic solutions, harsh chemicals, or water immersion which can damage porous onyx. Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent corrosion of gilded bronze metalwork.
