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

Doctors scales were specialised medical instruments designed to accurately weigh patients during routine medical examinations in surgeries, hospitals, or private practices. Wheeled variations allowed physicians to easily transport the scale between rooms or wards.

These scales were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany for structural stability, combined with brass or iron weight beams, counterweights, and rubber-tyred spoked wheels.

Authentic examples feature original brass scale beams with engraved imperial weight markings, joinery indicative of period construction, and aged patina on both the timber frame and iron components.

Medical scales make striking statement pieces or conversation features in eclectic hallway spaces, study rooms, or commercial settings like boutique hotels and vintage-themed displays.

Dust the wooden framework regularly with a microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish to preserve the finish, while keeping brass components dry and treating metal wheels with light mechanical oil if required.
