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.
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.
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.

Traditional Italian theatre props were created for opera, theatre, and masquerade performances, often designed to mimic heavy architectural details, metalwork, or classical stone sculptures using lightweight materials.

Craftsmen typically utilised papier-mache, gesso, timber, canvas, and painted plaster finishes to produce visual impact under stage lighting while maintaining structural lightness for actors and stagehands.

Authentic pieces often display hand-moulded gesso or papier-mache construction over wooden supports, signs of hand-painting, stage wear, and mounting attachments designed specifically for production.

These sculptural objects serve well as focal points on bookshelves, sideboards, or console tables, contrasting against clean architectural lines in contemporary settings.

Keep these delicate pieces in a climate-controlled environment away from direct moisture or high humidity, dusting lightly with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging fragile surfaces.
