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.

Sculptures from this era bridge classical figurative realism with stylized Art Deco geometry and exotic, Orientalist influences. They typically feature expressive facial features, ornate headpieces, elegant hair arrangements, and flowing draped garments.

Sculptors utilized the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand casting method to transform molten bronze alloy into detailed forms. After casting, the metal was hand-chased and finished with chemical patination before being mounted onto stone or marble plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit crisp cold-chasing detail, smooth tool marks from hand finishing, and a naturally aged patina with subtle colour variations. Check for cast signatures near the base, foundry stamps, and appropriate structural weight relative to the size of the piece.

Display the sculpture as a focal point on a marble sideboard top, mantlepiece, or deep windowsill to highlight its silhouette. Pair it alongside contemporary abstract artwork, minimal glass vessels, or rich timber panelling to create a balanced juxtaposition of texture and period style.

Dust the bronze regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush to clean recessed details. Apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface from moisture and oxidisation, avoiding chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners.
