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

Victorian brass beam scales were used primarily by apothecaries, jewellers, and merchants during the nineteenth century to measure precise quantities of goods, medicines, and precious metals.

These scales were constructed using solid brass for the beam, pans, and central column, often paired with steel pivots and suspension chains to ensure precise mechanical balance.

Authentic period examples feature stamped maker marks or weights, hand-finished brass components, fine suspension chains, and signs of natural patination around high-wear areas.

Place the scales on a study desk, bookshelf, or sideboard as a decorative accent piece, pairing them with leather-bound books or dark wood furniture for visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip the original lacquer or patina; use a gentle metal polish only when necessary.
