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

During the late 19th century, Italian sculptors specialised in working with alabaster and marble to create detailed figural groups for private residences and international collectors. Workshops in Florence and Volterra produced carved domestic scenes, neoclassical subjects, and genre figures to meet strong European demand.

Sculptors frequently used white alabaster for figures due to its soft texture and subtle translucency, often combining it with contrasting grey or veined marble for bases, benches, and architectural accents.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chiseled surface details, delicate undercutting on drapery or hair, and slight variations in the grain. Alabaster is cooler to the touch and significantly softer than marble, often showing subtle age-related surface wear.

A stone sculpture acts as a focal point when positioned on a dark wooden sideboard, mantelpiece, or glass display table. Spotlighting or placing the item near ambient warm light accentuates the natural translucency of the alabaster.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean microfibre cloth. Avoid using water or liquid chemicals, as alabaster is a porous mineral that can absorb moisture and stain easily.
