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.
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.
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.

During the 19th century, Italian workshops in regions such as Volterra and Florence produced detailed alabaster carvings depicting classical mythology, putti, and genre scenes, catering to Grand Tour travellers and international collectors.

Sculptors hand-carved soft alabaster mineral blocks using chisels, rasps, and fine polishers, achieving translucent surface qualities before securing the figures onto solid stone or marble bases.

Authentic period pieces exhibit precise hand-carved undercutting, natural translucency when illuminated, fine surface veining, and age-consistent patination within recessed details.

Displaying a stone sculpture on a dedicated pedestal in a foyer or positioning it against a minimalist backdrop allows the classical forms to serve as a architectural focal point.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, keeping the stone dry and away from harsh chemical cleaners or high humidity due to the porous nature of alabaster.
