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

Term figures, derived from classical herms, are decorative vertical posts or pilasters that taper downwards and are surmounted by a carved human figure or bust. In 17th and 18th-century architecture, these elements were used to ornament panelling, chimneypieces, and substantial case furniture.

English oak was the predominant wood chosen for architectural carvings due to its density, durability, and fine grain, which allowed carvers to execute intricate relief work and structural detail.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-tooling, such as gouge marks, subtle asymmetry, and aged joinery like wooden pegging. Surface patina, natural shrinkage along the grain, and deep, uneven oxidisation in recessed areas also indicate significant age.

Architectural carvings can be mounted vertically as standalone wall sculptures, positioned within alcoves, or integrated into bespoke interior joinery to provide historic texture and vertical accent within contemporary settings.

Dust gently using a soft brush or microfibre cloth to clean recessed areas. Apply a high-quality beesmear wax sparingly to protect the wood, polishing with a soft cloth while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or excess moisture.
