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

Altar garnitures traditionally consist of matching decorative vessels, vases, or bowls positioned on a sanctuary altar to hold floral displays or ceremonial offerings.

Historically, ecclesiastical metalwork was cast or hammered from solid yellow brass, often finished with lathe-turned pedestal bases and hand-chased or stamped geometric rim borders.

Authentic pieces display cast seam lines, subtle variations in hand-tooled engraving along the rim, significant weight, and natural surface patination or oxidisation within recessed details.

These footed vessels function effectively as decorative table centrepieces, mantelpiece accents, or elegant containers for dried botanicals and fruit displays.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfiber cloth; if polishing is desired, apply a non-abrasive metal cleaner while avoiding recessed decorative areas to preserve visual depth.
