Archival Detail
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.

Originating in the early 19th century following the fall of Napoleon, Restauration period metalwork retains Neoclassical proportions while incorporating detailed surface ornament such as acanthus leaves and engine-turned diaper patterns on gilt bronze.

These urns were cast in bronze sections using mercury gilding to apply fine gold to the surface, finished with hand chasing and mounted onto engine-turned pedestals and square plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details, heavy cast metal weight, threaded central rod assembly with square nuts, and natural mellow oxidisation to the gilding in recessed areas.

Position the pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble sideboard, or entryway console table to provide architectural weight and warm metallic tone.

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