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

Traditionally carved from solid timber, these figures depict youths, pages, or allegorical figures holding trays or lamps, popularised during the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods as functional decorative art.

Artisans primarily utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, lime, oak, and boxwood, which permitted detailed rendering of drapery, facial expressions, and structural elements.

Authentic period examples typically exhibit hand-carving tool marks, natural shrinkage along the timber grain, authentic surface patination, and traditional joinery within the pedestal base.

Position the piece as a focal accent in a hallway, drawing room alcove, or corner space to create a structural contrast against contemporary walls and modern furniture.

Maintain a stable environment away from central heating and moisture fluctuations, clean gently with a dry dusting brush, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish to protect the timber.
