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.

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

During the 19th century, French sculptors produced fine bronzes using refined lost-wax and sand casting techniques. Influenced by classical realism and academic art movements, these portrait busts often depicted allegorical figures, historical personages, or idealised country maidens.

These sculptures were cast in bronze alloys, which were chased by hand to refine surface details. Artisans applied chemical patinas to achieve rich brown hues, frequently adding parcel-gilt details and mounting the bronze onto carved marble or granite pedestals.

Authentic period bronzes display precise chasing, crisp details around hair and clothing, and incised sculptor signatures or foundry marks. Genuine pieces feature natural wear to the patina around raised edges and heavy, solid construction alongside period-correct marble bases.

A bronze bust serves as an anchor on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or deep bookshelf. Placing the sculpture against light-coloured walls or modern minimalist backdrops creates a striking architectural contrast.

Regularly dust the sculpture with a dry, soft-bristled brush or lint-free cloth. Protect the bronze patina by applying a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax once a year, avoiding liquid cleaners, abrasive chemicals, or humid environments.
