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.

Art Nouveau metalwork, popular from the late 1890s until the outbreak of the First World War, is characterised by organic, sinuous lines inspired by natural forms. Items frequently incorporate botanical elements, flowing tendrils, stylized foliage, and naturalistic figurative sculptures integrated seamlessly into functional objects.

Small decorative dishes from this era were primarily cast in bronze, brass, or pewter using lost-wax or sand-casting methods. After casting, metalworkers hand-chased surface details and applied chemical patination techniques to achieve warm brown, deep copper, or dark green tone variations.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical, whiplash lines and naturalistic modeling rather than rigid geometric patterns. Look for signs of authentic age, such as natural patination wear on raised highlights, crisp chasing work on hand-finished details, and appropriate casting weight consistent with solid bronze.

Small bronze trays, historically known as vide-poches, work exceptionally well on entryway console tables, dressing tables, or bedside tables. They serve as functional accent pieces for holding keys, cufflinks, or daily jewellery while introducing warmth and historic texture to modern surfaces.

Maintain patinated bronze by dusting regularly with a clean, dry, microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical polishers, liquid solvents, or abrasive creams, as these strip away original patination; a light application of neutral microcrystalline wax can be applied annually to protect the surface.
