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 in the 19th and early 20th centuries, wooden pigeon decoys were utilitarian tools used by gamekeepers and hunters in agricultural regions to attract wild birds to field locations.

Decoys were typically hand-carved from locally sourced softwoods or hardwoods such as pine, alder, or lime, then finished with layered paints to replicate feather patterns and provide weather resistance.

Authentic pieces display evidence of genuine age, such as natural paint wear from field exposure, visible hand-tooled carving marks, surface craquelure, and original mounting points on the underside.

Designers often place decoy pairs on open shelving, mantelpieces, or console tables alongside books and botanical specimens to add textural contrast and rustic character to a room.

Preserve original painted surfaces by dusting gently with a soft dry brush, keeping the objects away from direct sunlight, and avoiding water or chemical solvents that could damage delicate paintwork.
