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

Gothic Revival metalwork frequently incorporates medieval heraldic motifs, mythical creatures such as dragons or gargoyles, and architectural detailing rendered in cast brass or bronze.

These fixtures were typically cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques before being chased by hand and finished with gilding to achieve a gold surface.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or foundry numbers on the reverse, crisp hand-chased surface details, substantial weight consistent with solid bronze, and age-appropriate wear to the gilding.

Mounting these tiebacks adjacent to tall window frames allows them to secure heavy velvet or silk drapery, adding architectural structure and metalwork texture against neutral walls.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemical cleaners, brass polishes, or abrasive pastes that can strip original gilding.
