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

Nineteenth-century library globes are terrestrial or celestial spheres mounted on floor-standing wooden frames, featuring calibrated brass meridian rings, horizon circles, and integrated compasses for geographical study.

These globes were crafted using hollow plaster or papier-mache spheres coated with printed paper gores, supported on carved mahogany or walnut stands with brass mountings.

Authenticity is confirmed via printed cartouches stating the maker and date, accurate historical political boundaries, hand-tinted map details, and original brass hardware.

A floor-standing globe functions as a sculptural accent in a study, reading room, or empty corner, offering warm timber tones and historical interest.

Position the globe away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid paper discolouration or wood cracking, and dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth.
