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

Historically, decoy ducks were carved from timber and painted to mimic real wildfowl, serving as functional tools for hunters to attract birds into range.

Most 19th-century decoys were hand-carved from softwoods like pine, cedar, or lime, then hand-painted with durable oil paints and fitted with glass or inset wooden eyes.

Authentic historical decoys typically display original paint wear, hand-carved tool marks, lead ballast weights on the underside, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with age.

Place the object on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard alongside textured ceramics and natural timber surfaces to introduce a subtle touch of country heritage.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or solvent cleansers that could lift or dissolve the delicate paint layer.
