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.
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.

Sevres style items from the 19th century mimic the 18th-century porcelain produced by the Manufacture nationale de Sevres, featuring vibrant ground colours such as bleu celeste, fine gilding, and hand-painted reserves displaying botanical, avian, or figurative scenes.

These pieces combine cast bronze that has been gilded using gold amalgam (ormolu) with soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain urn bodies and central columns.

Authentic period examples display high-quality mercury gilding with natural wear, finely chased bronze castings with threaded assembly, and detailed freehand painted vignettes within gilded porcelain cartouches.

Position them symmetrically atop a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to serve as classical architectural anchors within modern or traditional rooms.

Dust regularly with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip gilding, and protect painted porcelain reserves from direct moisture and prolonged sunlight.
