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.

FAQs

These items are characterised by heavy cast construction, simple yet balanced proportions, and functional designs intended for domestic or ecclesiastical use during the Renaissance period.

They were typically produced using brass alloy composed of copper and zinc, formed through sand casting or lost-wax casting methods, followed by hand-finishing on a lathe.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural surface oxidisation, casting flaws, tool marks from lathe turning, and wear consistent with age, whereas reproductions often display uniform surfaces and modern manufacturing signatures.

Placing the piece on a mantelpiece, side table, or open shelf introduces historic texture and metallic warmth that contrasts effectively with modern minimalist furnishings.

Preservation involves dusting with a soft dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can remove historical patina and damage the metal surface.
