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

French boules or petanque clubs frequently displayed painted three-dimensional hanging signage outside venues or clubhouses to denote meeting grounds during the early to mid-20th century.

These signs were typically constructed from hollow painted metal spheres suspended using hand-forged iron chain links and S-hooks to withstand outdoor weather conditions.

Authentic vintage trade signs display genuine surface wear, natural oxidisation on iron hanging elements, and period-appropriate hand-lettered typography rather than modern vinyl lettering.

A spherical sign can be suspended from an exposed ceiling beam in a hallway, positioned above a home bar area, or incorporated into a gallery corner to add architectural interest.

Dust the surface gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or moisture that could loosen or flake original paint layers.
