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.

  • StyleFrench Chateau
  • MaterialWood, Tole, Metal, Gesso
  • ColourCream, Green, Soft Pink
  • MotifsCarved square plinths, Painted sheet metal foliage, Floral garniture stems, Classical urn bases
  • SizeH 119 cm (47 in) x W 26 cm (10 in) x D 26 cm (10 in)

This nineteenth-century decorative sculpture pair comprises hand-carved wooden urns mounted upon stepped square plinths and filled with painted sheet-metal tole foliage and floral garniture stems. The classical urn bases, carved wooden elements, and square pedestals carry a cream-painted finish, complemented by soft pink and green painted metal blossoms, gilded accents on the moulding rings, and attached metal ring handles on the sides of the urn bodies. Each piece stands 119 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 26 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this pair suits placement on a grand sideboard top, hallway console, or fireplace mantel within a French chateau interior scheme, bringing symmetrical height and sculptural botanical interest to a room without requiring fresh arrangements.

FAQs

Tole flowers are hand-painted sheet metal floral arrangements, frequently mounted inside carved wooden or gesso urns as decorative garnitures popular during the 18th and 19th centuries across Europe.

Craftspeople utilised hand-cut sheet iron or tinplate for the foliage and blooms, shaped with wire stems, set into hand-carved wood or moulded gesso pedestals finished with paint and gilding.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut metal petals with age-softened paint, subtle signs of oxidisation on wire stems, and carved wood or gesso bases displaying natural surface craquelure.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining room sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece to frame a central mirror or artwork, introducing architectural height and sculptural interest.

Dust gently using a dry soft-bristle brush to avoid damaging delicate metal leaves, and display the items away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve original paint and gilding.
