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.

Originating predominantly in the Brienz region of Switzerland during the 19th century, Black Forest carvings are recognised for detailed depictions of wild animals, foliage, and naturalistic motifs. Craftsmen utilised dense hardwoods, executing deep relief and precise hand-gouge work.

Dense European hardwoods, particularly walnut, lime, and pearwood, were selected for their fine grain, which allowed for intricate detail and durable construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tool marks, uneven micro-variations from chisel gouges, and natural wear patterns on raised surfaces. The reverse side often shows historical joinery marks or surface oxidisation consistent with age.

Such architectural elements can be positioned on a bookshelf, displayed as a mantelpiece accent, or integrated into a gallery wall to provide texture and sculptural interest.

Dust regularly using a soft bristles brush to reach deep crevices. Periodically apply a clear, natural beeswax paste with a lint-free cloth to maintain moisture in the timber and preserve the original finish.
