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

The Animalier movement originated in 19th-century France, focussing on realistic and anatomically accurate depictions of animals, particularly dogs, horses, and wildlife, cast in bronze.

These sculptures were typically created using the lost-wax or sand casting method, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details and applying a chemical patina to achieve varied color tones.

Authentic period bronzes often feature crisp cold-work detailing, foundry marks or artist signatures cast directly into the base, substantial weight, and natural wear to the patinated surface.

A bronze figurine provides grounding visual weight when displayed on a dark wood mantelpiece, structured bookshelf, or positioned atop a stack of books on a console table.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry brush or cloth, avoiding household liquid cleaners; applying a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax periodically protects the patinated finish from moisture and dust.
