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

Originating primarily in Brienz, Switzerland, during the 19th century, Black Forest wood carving is a tradition famous for detailed depictions of native wildlife, particularly bears, alongside trees and foliage.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense local hardwoods, predominantly linden wood (lime wood) and walnut, which allowed for intricate hand carving and were finished with dark stains or natural polishes.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible hand-tool marks, anatomically accurate animal figures, naturalistic tree bark textures, and signs of age on metal drip pans and mirror silvering.

Position the piece in a spacious hallway, foyer, or entrance to serve as a functional statement for umbrellas and coats, pairing dark timber against neutral wall finishes.

Dust regularly using a soft brush to reach crevices, apply natural beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber, and keep the object away from direct heat sources.
