After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

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.

This 19th-century dessert cream tureen and matching stand are made from porcelain and bone china with a cobalt blue, white, and gold colour palette in the Rococo Revival style. The tureen has a broad shallow body resting on a flared foot and stem, fitted with twin interwoven side handles, a lid with a twisted foliate finial, and a spoon cutout. Both pieces display a rich cobalt blue ground, white reserves, extensive gold leaf gilding in foliate designs, and hand-painted landscape vignettes depicting rural country houses and castles. The tureen measures 16.5 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. Today, this decorative set suits display on a sideboard top in an English country house interior, or within a formal dining room cabinet. It functions as a centrepiece or a cabinet display item, bringing a traditional mid-19th-century aesthetic to a table setting or shelving unit. The combination of royal blue glaze, bright white porcelain, and gleaming gold accents creates a striking visual contrast on any dining room furniture surface.

FAQs

A dessert cream tureen is a small covered porcelain vessel designed to hold cream, custards, or sweet sauces during formal multi-course dinners. Popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries, these pieces formed part of elaborate dessert services that reflected the social status of the host.

19th-century tureens were typically crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, featuring hand-moulded relief details and scroll handles. Decoration often combined deep cobalt blue ground enamels, hand-painted landscape panels, and burnished gold leaf gilding.

Authentic mid-19th-century Mintons ceramics frequently feature impressed or painted factory marks, pattern numbers, or year ciphers on the underside. Precision in heavy gilding, crispness of moulded scrollwork, and detailed hand-painted vignettes also characterize genuine production from this period.

An antique porcelain tureen functions as a decorative accent displayed on a sideboard top, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or at the centre of a dining table arrangement. Rich cobalt tones and metallic gilding provide historical contrast against modern neutral backdrops.

Antique gilt porcelain requires gentle hand washing using lukewarm water and a mild dish soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or chemical cleaners. Pieces should never be submerged for long periods or placed in dishwashers, as heat and friction erode surface gilding.
