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

Art Nouveau portrait busts from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries typically feature stylized natural forms, organic flowing lines, and realistic human proportions. Sculptors from this period often emphasized delicate facial expressions, intricate drapery, and detailed headwear.

Sculptors frequently combined white marble or alabaster for skin tones with cast bronze, brass, or gilded metal for garments and hair adornments. This mixed-material approach, known as chryselephantine or chryselephantine-style technique, created tonal contrast and visual texture.

Authentic pieces generally display natural surface wear, faint oxidisation or patina on the metalwork, and precise carving details around the facial features and hair. Maker signatures or foundry stamps are often etched into the lower marble base or reverse of the metal drapery.

A sculpture of this scale serves as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a formal bookcase. Pairing classical figurative sculpture with clean modern lines or minimalist backdrops creates an engaging juxtaposition.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth or microfibre duster. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners, water, or polish, as liquid can mark porous marble and strip original gilding or patination from the metal areas.
