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

French Art Nouveau ceramics from the late 19th century are recognised for organic forms, fluid relief carvings, and experimental glazing techniques. Workshops during this era frequently incorporated classical motifs alongside iridescent lustre finishes developed through metallic oxide glazes.

These wall decorative pieces were typically moulded from earthenware or faience clays before undergoing initial firing. Metallic glaze formulations containing silver or copper oxides were then applied prior to specialized reduction firing to achieve iridescent surface sheen.

Authentic period pieces feature incised or impressed maker marks on the reverse, precise hand-finished relief carving, and characteristic age-appropriate craquelure within the glaze. Glaze pooled in deeper relief areas displays subtle colour shifts consistent with historical kiln firing techniques.

A glazed relief plaque serves as a focal point when mounted above a sideboard or console table against rich wall tones. Combining iridescent ceramic chargers with matte textures or modern brass fixtures highlights the reflective surface while anchoring a gallery wall.

Clean glazed ceramic surfaces using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm distilled water. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical cleaners, or submersion, as moisture can enter existing micro-crazing and weaken the underlying earthenware structure.
