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.

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

Stick-up duck decoys were designed with long metal or wooden stakes to be inserted directly into soft marshland or mudflats. Unlike floating decoys used on open water, these stationary figures mimicked feeding shorebirds and waterfowl to attract wild species to land.

Early 20th-century decoys were typically carved from lightweight timber such as cedar, pine, or balsa wood. They were fitted with iron, steel, or wooden mounting rods and finished with oil-based paints to withstand wet environments.

Authentic decoys display functional wear, natural paint loss, tool marks from hand carving, and authentic oxidisation on metal components. Uniform machine markings or artificial aging tend to indicate modern reproductions.

These decorative objects work well grouped in small odd-numbered arrangements on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or deep window sill. Their dark silhouette and textural timber contrast effectively against neutral walls and minimalist shelving.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid removing flaking historical paint. Keep timber objects in a stable climate away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and excess moisture to prevent splitting.
