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.
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.

Champleve is an enamelling technique where troughs or cells are carved, cast, or etched into the surface of a metal object and filled with vitreous enamel paste before firing and polishing smooth.

Nineteenth-century pieces frequently combined cast gilt bronze (ormolu), colourful champleve enamel, and decorative hardstones such as onyx or marble to create multi-textured decorative items.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-finished casting, distinct assembly threads, heavy cast-bronze weight, gentle gilding wear around handling points, and precisely recessed enamel cells filled with vitreous glass.

Position them as a symmetrical pair on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to introduce warm metallic highlights and intricate patterns against a neutral backdrop.

Remove dust with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoid chemical polishes that can strip original gilding or etch enamel surfaces, and never submerge stone or onyx elements in water.
