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

French Rococo pedestals typically feature asymmetrical organic motifs, such as acanthus leaf scrollwork, shell designs, and curved profiles. Designed primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries, these display stands were crafted to elevate busts, urns, and decorative bronzes within grand reception rooms.

These pieces are usually carved from softwood or hardwood timber, coated with layers of gesso preparation, and finished with gilding (gold leaf) alongside hand-painted cream or neutral tones. The water gilding technique gives the carved detailing depth and texture.

Authentic period examples demonstrate carved timber construction under the gesso layer rather than modern cast resin. Look for signs of genuine age, such as fine craquelure in the gesso, subtle wear revealing the clay bole beneath the gilding, and authentic hand-carved joinery on the underside.

A carved pedestal works effectively as a focal point in a hallway or drawing room corner. Style it with contemporary abstract sculpture, a classical marble bust, or a tall ceramic vase to create architectural height and visual contrast against modern painted walls.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid flaking fragile gilding or gesso. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and fluctuating damp environments, and never use liquid chemical polishes or damp cloths on water-gilded surfaces.
