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.

This pair of nineteenth-century French Empire period tazzas belongs on a mantelpiece. Each piece combines marble and ormolu, displaying a dark brown bronze coloration alongside metallic golden tones. The structure rests upon a square plinth base embellished with egg and dart moulding at the lower edge, supporting a turned stem that rises to a shallow dish. Intricate grape and vine leaf details form the ornate handles on each side of the basin, while a small central screw projects upward from the interior floor. The set measures 15 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. Displaying these decorative items in a living room or study introduces classic French chateau styling to the interior. The dark surfaces contrast with the gleaming ormolu mounts, creating a balanced focal point on a shelf or sideboard. The balanced proportions make them suitable for accenting traditional architectural features or complementing classical interior decor schemes.

FAQs

French Empire tazzas typically incorporate classical Greek and Roman motifs, structured symmetry, heavy pedestal bases, and refined metalwork detailing.

These decorative pieces commonly feature cast bronze, mercury-gilded ormolu, and dark polished marble or porphyry bases.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased metal details, original threaded rod assemblies, natural surface patination, and minor irregularities indicative of period casting methods.

Position them as a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, dining table, or credenza to provide historical contrast against modern backdrops.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive polishes, as these strip historic gilding and damage natural stone surfaces.
