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.

Staffordshire figures are press-moulded earthenware ornaments produced in Staffordshire, England, predominantly during the 19th century for Victorian mantelpieces and domestic display.

They were crafted from earthenware clay using plaster moulds, coated in lead glaze, fired, and finished with hand-painted overglaze enamel pigments and metallic lusters.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically feature a flat back designed for mantel placement, small air vent holes, light weight relative to size, and age-consistent crazing in the glaze.

Position them as a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, console, or bookshelf alongside contemporary books and greenery to create an eclectic contrast.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding immersion in water or abrasive detergents that can strip the delicate overglaze enamel paint.
