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

Produced in France between 1814 and 1830 following the fall of Napoleon, French Restauration bronzes feature classical, historical, and literary themes crafted with precise chasing details and dark patination.

These sculptures were cast using copper-based bronze alloys, finished with hand-applied chemical patinas, and mounted on contrasting stone plinths such as yellow marble or porphyry.

Authentic examples exhibit crisp casting details, natural age-related patina wear on high points, hand-cut threaded fitments underneath, and substantial stone or marble bases.

Place figural bronzes on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or executive desks to introduce architectural structure and classical character to modern rooms.

Dust regularly with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth and apply microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface, avoiding water, harsh solvents, and liquid metal polishes.
