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

During the 19th century, Indian artisans carved wooden figures representing soldiers, guards, and court attendants for architectural decoration, processional displays, and trade with European collectors during the colonial era.

These figures were carved from local timbers such as teak or mango wood, seasoned, treated with a gesso base, and finished with layered tempera or mineral pigments and lacquer detailing.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carving marks, natural paint surface craquelure, stable shrinkage cracks following the wood grain, and aged patination across areas of handling.

A carved figure functions as a focal point when displayed on a sideboard, within an open bookshelf, or elevated on an alcove pedestal alongside contemporary or traditional furnishings.

Maintain a stable indoor humidity level, keep the object away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and clean surfaces exclusively with a soft, dry, natural-bristle brush.
