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.

Founded in Paris in 1867 by Frederic Stockman, the Stockman company pioneered handcrafted papier-mache dress forms tailored to human proportions. These forms became the standard in French couture houses and department stores for garment design and retail window display throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Historic mannequins were constructed using a sturdy papier-mache or carved wood core layered with padding and tightly upholstered in natural linen or canvas fabric. Heavy cast iron bases, feet, or timber tripods were attached to ensure stability during use.

Authentic pieces frequently display maker stamps or stencil marks around the neck or torso, such as Stockman Paris. Look for traditional construction features including hand-stitched linen seams, brass neck caps, original iron cast bases, and natural age-related patina on the fabric.

An antique mannequin serves as a standalone sculptural object in an empty corner, dressing room, or hallway alcove. Interior designers often use them to add structural height and textural contrast against contemporary furniture or minimalist backdrops.

Keep the object in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric dry rot and discolouration. Lightly vacuum the upholstery with a brush attachment to remove dust, and keep metal elements dry to avoid excess oxidisation.
