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

Cold-painted bronze figures and desk accessories were popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, notably in Vienna, where cast bronze pieces were decorated with enamel or oil-based paints without refiring.

Craftspeople cast the forms using heavy bronze metal alloys and manually applied layers of cold paint to accentuate decorative details such as collars, fur textures, and facial features.

Authentic pieces display considerable weight due to solid bronze construction, fine hand-chiselled casting details, natural surface wear to the paint layer, and occasionally foundry stamps or maker initials near the base.

These sculptural pieces work effectively placed on a dark wood desk, nestled within a modern bookshelf display, or arranged on a console table flanking heavy hardback volumes.

Dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive polishes that could strip the original painted finish or natural patina.
