Archival Detail
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.

A cassolette is a small decorative vessel, often fashioned as a classical urn, designed to burn incense or pastilles. During the Regency period, many featured reversible lids that transformed from a decorative finial into a candlestick socket.

Early 19th-century cassolettes were typically cast in bronze or brass, frequently finished with a dark patination or gilt metal detailing. They featured cast components, including square plinths, gadrooned urn bodies, and reversible nozzles.

Authentic pieces display heavy hand-cast bronze construction, subtle casting seams, and chased detailing around gadrooning and finials. Look for wear to the patination on handling areas and well-fitted reversible tops.

Positioning a pair of bronze cassolettes on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard creates symmetrical balance in formal or contemporary spaces. Their architectural silhouette works well alongside modern artwork or contemporary displays.

Dust patinated bronze regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth or camel-hair brush. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive polishes, or water, as these can strip the historical patina; an occasional light coat of microcrystalline wax provides protection.
