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.
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.
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.

During the 19th century, medical schools and teaching hospitals utilised prepared human osteological specimens to teach human anatomy and surgical techniques to students.

Authentic medical skulls were typically prepared using natural human bone, articulated with brass wire, steel springs, and metal hooks to demonstrate jaw movement and cranial sutures.

Authentic 19th-century specimens display natural biological suture lines, bone patination, hand-cut calvaria lines, and period-accurate brass or iron wiring hardware.

Designers frequently display osteological specimens under glass cloches, on dark wooden shelving, or within cabinets of curiosities to create an academic or gothic aesthetic.

Keep bone specimens in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and direct heat sources, dusting gently with a dry soft-bristled brush.
