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.

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

Commercial trade figures emerged during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as visual advertising for specialist retailers. In butcher shops, anthropomorphic plaster pigs in aprons were placed on shop counters or in front windows to promote produce and draw customer attention.

Edwardian shop displays were typically cast from plaster, terracotta, or composition plaster, often reinforced internally with wire frames. The exterior surfaces were hand-painted with oil-based or enamel paints designed to withstand commercial retail environments.

Authentic period figures exhibit consistent paint wear, fine paint crazing, and minor chipping to high-relief points revealing underlying plaster. Genuine pieces demonstrate substantial weight, period-correct molding seams, and original hand-painted decorative details without modern synthetic seals.

These decorative objects serve as standalone conversational accents on a kitchen island, sideboard top, or open shelving. Combining them with clean contemporary cabinetry or rustic timber surfaces creates a balanced contrast between historical commercial art and modern living spaces.

Preservation requires gentle dry dusting with a soft-bristled brush or dry microfiber cloth. Avoid applying water, liquid cleansers, or chemical polishes, as moisture can penetrate hairline fractures, dissolve raw plaster, and lift flaking paint layers.
