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 late 19th and early 20th centuries, foundry artisans produced decorative garden ornaments incorporating whimsical zoomorphic forms, such as marine life, birds, and mythical beasts, into functional planting vessels.

These pieces were crafted using sand-casting techniques where molten iron was poured into carved moulds, resulting in heavy, durable structures with detailed relief work and distinct mould lines.

Authentic examples exhibit crisp casting details, natural surface oxidisation or aged paint layers, substantial weight, and structural seams consistent with historical foundry production.

Position them in a sunroom, conservatory, or entrance hallway filled with architectural greenery or ferns to contrast structured botanical elements with dark metalwork.

Keep the metal dry to prevent aggressive corrosion, and periodically apply a coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the painted finish and patination.
