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

Chinese soapstone carvings have a long production history dating back centuries, frequently depicting symbolic animals, figures, or natural motifs intended to represent prosperity, fertility, or protection.

Craftsmen utilise steatite, commonly known as soapstone, which is a soft metamorphic rock easily shaped with hand chisels and knives, often finished with polishing wax and mounted on a carved hardwood base.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-carved tool marks, variations in stone colour, natural patination from age, and appropriate surface wear around intricate details and base edges.

Small soapstone sculptures function well displayed on open shelving, mantelpieces, or curated console trays alongside books and minimalist ceramics to add textural contrast.

Dust gently using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers, water immersion, or direct heat sources that can damage the soft stone surface.
