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

Carved wooden decoys were utilised in sporting and country pursuits during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to attract wild birds within range for hunting.

These decoys were typically hand-carved from block timber, such as pine or softwood, and painted with durable oil-based finishes designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

Authentic pieces generally display original hand-painted surfaces with genuine paint loss, hand-carved tool marks, and evidence of mounting hardware or lead weighting on the underside.

They are commonly styled as sculptural folk art on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or sideboards to introduce warm timber textures and historical character into rustic or contemporary interiors.

Keep the wood dusted using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or solvents that could dissolve or strip the original historic paint layers.
