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

Sculpture from this period often combined Neoclassical precision with Romantic fluidity, depicting allegorical, literary, or musical subjects. Artists frequently integrated mixed materials, such as parcel-gilt bronze elements alongside white statuary marble, to heighten visual contrast and texture.

These pieces primarily feature hand-carved white statuary marble for the figurative form, paired with cast and chased gilt bronze or gilded brass elements for decorative details like instruments, ornaments, or attributes.

Authenticity is evaluated through incised sculptor signatures or foundry marks, evidence of hand-tooling on non-visible surfaces, realistic drapery undercuts, and natural age-related oxidisation on metal fittings.

Positioning a classical sculpture on a pedestal, grand sideboard, or piano creates an arresting focal point that anchors contemporary decor with historical depth and sculptural texture.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, harsh chemical detergents, or acidic cleaners, as these can etch porous marble surfaces and strip gilded patinas.
