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

Traditional Maori wood carvings, known as whakairo, historically represent revered ancestors and cultural deities, serving as tangible connections to genealogy and tribal history within Pacific island traditions.

These sculptures are typically crafted from dense native hardwoods and often feature inlaid paua shell or mother-of-pearl for the eyes, finished with natural oils or dark pigments.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise hand-chiselled motifs such as spiral koru patterns, facial moko designs, extended tongues, and traditional shell eye inlays paired with aged timber patina.

Positioning the sculpture on a curated bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table alongside neutral accents allows its detailed woodwork and dark reddish tones to serve as a focal point.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent cracking, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying microcrystalline wax occasionally to protect the surface finish.
