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

Sixteenth-century plate armour, associated with the Renaissance era, features complete steel coverage engineered to protect the wearer while providing articulated movement at the joints.

Historic suits of armour were crafted primarily from hammered steel or iron plates, held together with internal leather straps, steel rivets, and brass fittings.

Authentic period armour displays signs of hand-forging, variable plate thickness, age-appropriate patination, and hand-hammered markation, whereas later reproductions feature uniform rolled sheet steel and machine-pressed components.

A life-size suit of armour serves as a sculptural focal point in entrance foyers, hallways, or library alcoves, pairing alongside dark wood panelling, stone features, or neutral backdrop walls.

Steel armour requires dusting with a microfibre cloth and periodic application of a microcrystalline wax or light mineral oil to protect the metal surfaces against humidity and oxidisation.
