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

The Animalier movement originated in nineteenth-century France, focussing on the realistic depiction of animals in bronze and other metals. These figures became popular decorative accents across Europe and North America through the early twentieth century.

Most bronze sculptures from this era were cast using either the lost-wax (cire perdue) process or sand casting techniques. The molten bronze was poured into detailed moulds before being finished by hand with chasing tools and applied patinas.

Authentic bronze pieces display cast seams or hand-chased details, appropriate weight for their dimensions, and natural surface wear or patination. Unlike spelter or resin, cast bronze produces a resonant metallic ring when light tapped and does not show white metal beneath surface scratches.

A life-size bronze dog sculpture works best positioned directly on the floor beside a fireplace hearth, within an entrance hall, or in an empty corner to anchor the space. Pairing the heavy dark metal with natural wood furniture creates balanced textural contrast.

Dust the bronze regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris without stripping the patina. Occasional applications of clear microcrystalline wax will protect the surface from oxidisation and moisture.
