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

Egyptian Revival is a design movement that emerged in the late 18th and 19th centuries, inspired by Western interest in ancient Egyptian culture, imagery, and monuments following European military campaigns and archaeological discoveries.

Historically, decorative obelisks were constructed from polished metals such as brass or bronze, as well as dense stones like marble, porphyry, obsidian, and slate to replicate ancient monoliths.

Authentic period pieces often show casting lines, natural metal oxidisation, weight consistent with solid stone or cast brass, and incised or cast hieroglyphic patterns influenced by early archaeological publication plates.

Stylists frequently place pair arrangements on office desks, bookshelves, or mantelpieces, using their vertical silhouette to introduce geometric structure and metallic warmth among book stacks and modern artwork.

Dust metal and stone surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid solvents or abrasive polishes that may strip natural patina or damage soft marble bases.
