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.

This large 19th-century Victorian flagon takes a pear-shaped, onion-like silhouette crafted from copper with a dark, warm brown patina. It displays a rolled rim, a curved loop handle at the side, riveted joinery on the neck, and an engraved name reading S Hancock to the front. Obvious patination and usage wear mark the surface, accompanied by a duty mark and capacity stamp on the top rim. The vessel measures 38 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. Suitable for rustic farmhouse interiors, this tactile piece functions as a decorative accessory placed on a kitchen island. It provides an authentic antique display element without requiring complex placement or installation.

FAQs

These vessels were primarily designed for storing, measuring, and serving liquids such as ale, beer, cider, or water in commercial taverns, public houses, and domestic estates.

They were hand-crafted from heavy-gauge copper sheet metal, joined with hand-brazed seams, finished with turned rims, and fitted with sturdy riveted handles to endure frequent handling.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-brazed or dovetailed seams, stamped liquid capacity measurements, visible metal rivets, heavy weight, and natural surface oxidisation acquired over time.

A large metal vessel functions as a decorative focal point on a kitchen island, mantelpiece, sideboard, or open shelving to add warm tones and historic character.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean gently with mild soapy water if necessary, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip away natural surface oxidisation.
