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

During the 19th century, portrait busts often combined classical marble carving techniques with regional folk costumes or romanticised historical attire. Sculptors frequently used parcel-gilding or polychromy to highlight intricate details such as lace, embroidery, and traditional headpieces.

These sculptures were carved primarily from fine white marble, such as Carrara marble, which provided a smooth surface for skin tones. Selected decorative elements, including headwear and draped garments, were embellished using leaf gilding or cold-painted metal finishes.

Authentic 19th-century marble busts display hand-carved tool marks, sharp definition along drapery edges, and subtle surface patination consistent with age. Inspecting the underside reveals natural marble grain, historic mounting methods, and age-appropriate softening of gilded layers.

A decorative marble bust functions as an elegant focal point when displayed on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or within a curated bookcase. Placing the sculpture against dark backdrop paint or wood panelling enhances the contrast of the white marble and gold accents.

Dust the marble surface regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean microfibre cloth, taking care to avoid liquid cleaners on gilded sections. Keep the piece away from damp environments and harsh chemicals to protect both the natural stone and delicate gold leaf surface.
