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

Originating primarily in Brienz, Switzerland, during the nineteenth century, Black Forest wood carving is characterised by detailed hand-carved depictions of wildlife, aquatic life, and natural motifs crafted from native hardwoods.

Artisans predominantly utilised lindenwood, walnut, and pear wood, which allowed for intricate tooling with chisels and accepted dark timber stains and wax polishes.

Authentic pieces display distinct hand-chiselled tool marks, natural timber grain variations, subtle asymmetry between hand-carved pairs, and a rich surface patina developed over decades.

Position them on a contemporary bookshelf, a floating wall shelf, or an executive desk to introduce organic wood textures and historical character alongside modern materials.

Dust the wood regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush to clear intricate carved recesses, and apply a clear beeswax paste annually to maintain timber moisture and lustre.
