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

Steering sledges featuring front runners controlled by a wheel or helm gained popularity in the early to mid-20th century across Alpine regions and North America as recreational winter sports developed.

Traditional sledges were crafted from resilient hardwoods such as ash or oak for the slatted seats and wooden runners, secured with iron or steel brackets and reinforcement strips.

Authentic vintage pieces exhibit natural wear along the wooden skids, patinated timber surfaces, aged metal hardware with surface oxidisation, and traditional joint construction.

A large wooden sledge functions as a decorative accent mounted horizontally on a feature wall, placed on the floor in an entrance hall, or repurposed as a coffee table base.

Clean the timber carefully and condition it with a wax polish, store the sledge in a dry indoor environment, and treat any exposed iron hardware with clear oil to prevent active corrosion.
