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

Bushel balances were agricultural measuring devices used throughout the 18th and 19th centuries to measure the weight and density of harvested grain. Standardised volume measures allowed grain traders and inspectors to establish tax duties and quality gradings.

These sets were primarily crafted from heavy cast and turned brass due to its resistance to corrosion and wear. Accompanying components frequently included wooden strike scrapers, natural fibre cords, and fitted textile storage bags.

Authentic period scales typically feature engraved Dutch volume text (such as maatjes), stamped official verification marks, incised date numerals, and hand-turned brass construction with natural surface patination.

Scientific instruments and scale sets make striking focal points when displayed flat or suspended on a bookshelf, within a glazed cabinet, or atop a study sideboard alongside leather-bound books.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to clean the surface. Avoid using harsh chemical polishes or abrasive metal cleaners, as maintaining the natural aged oxidisation preserves the historical integrity of the metalwork.
