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

Orientalist sculpture typically depicts subjects from North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia, rendered with heightened detail, rich polychrome finishes, and elaborate costume elements popularised in Western Europe during the 19th century.

These statues were cast using fine plaster of Paris (gypsum plaster) and subsequently hand-painted with oil-based or tempera pigments to simulate fabrics, leather, metal weapons, and skin tones.

Authentic period pieces display subtle surface wear, natural paint micro-crazing, impressed maker or foundry marks near the base, and plaster that shows natural patination in unpainted areas.

These figurative sculptures serve as impactful focal points when set against contemporary architectural backdrop, styled in grand foyers, or incorporated within Gentlemans Library and Maximalist interiors.

Dust plaster figures gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or low-suction vacuum with a brush attachment, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that could damage water-soluble pigments or soften the plaster.
