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

Originating in the late eighteenth century, a banjo or wheel barometer features a violin-shaped wooden case housing a mercury tube mechanism to measure changes in atmospheric pressure.

These instruments were typically constructed using mahogany or rosewood veneers, incorporating silvered brass dials, glass convex mirrors, and spirit thermometers.

Authentic pieces display hand-engraved silvered dials, period-correct brass bezels, original mercury glass tubes, and traditional cabinet-making features such as scroll pediments and brass finials.

A banjo barometer works well mounted centrally on a narrow wall, within a gallery wall arrangement, or above a hallway console table to add historical interest.

Dust the wood regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, avoid placing near heat sources or direct sunlight, and ensure the casing remains upright to prevent mercury spillage.
