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

Spelter soldier statues are late 19th and early 20th-century decorative metal sculptures, frequently produced in France, depicting historical military figures, guards, or archers in detailed armour.

Spelter, known in French as regule, is a zinc-based alloy that was cast into intricate molds and finished with a dark chemical patination or bronze-coloured lacquer to imitate cast bronze.

Authentic spelter pieces are lighter in weight than solid bronze, display white or light-grey metal underneath surface wear, and often feature cast title plates on circular integrally cast bases.

These sculptures function well when styled symmetrically on a sideboard, placed on a deep window sill, or framed within a dark wood bookshelf alongside historical texts.

Dust the figures regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents, polish, or water which can degrade the original painted or patinated finish.
