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

Popularised during the 19th century by Italian sculptors such as Giovanni Strazza and Raffaele Monti, veiled busts demonstrated technical mastery by creating the optical illusion of translucent fabric drapery using solid stone.

Sculptors primarily utilised high-grade white Carrara marble due to its fine grain, uniform composition, and subtle translucency, which enhanced the execution of delicate drapery.

Authentic period examples typically exhibit hand-chiseled tool markings in unpolished recessed areas, subtle surface patination, and detailed carving along the drapery folds.

A sculpted bust acts as a structural accent when placed on a mantelpiece, console table, or plinth, providing a classical focal point against neutral backgrounds.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft microfibre cloth or dry natural bristle brush, avoiding chemical solvents or acidic cleansers that erode marble.
