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.

19th-century wire bird cages typically feature hand-formed iron or steel wire, domed or architectural silhouettes, and turned finials, reflecting Victorian decorative trends for indoor aviaries.

These cages were primarily constructed from painted or primed wrought iron wire, bent metal framing, and occasionally tin or wood bases designed for easy maintenance.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-welded or hand-twisted wire joints, uneven naturally aged oxidisation, layers of original or historical paint, and slight asymmetries inherent to period manufacturing.

A decorative bird cage can be styled as a standalone sculptural object on a sideboard, filled with trailing houseplants, or used to house dried botanical arrangements.

Dust the wirework gently with a soft dry brush, avoid harsh water treatment to prevent further corrosion, and apply a neutral microcrystalline wax if necessary to stabilise fragile painted finishes.
