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

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth. To retain the natural aged patina, avoid abrasive chemical cleaners; gentle metal polishes can be applied sparingly if a brighter finish is desired.

Hanging scales can be suspended over a kitchen island, inside a fireplace alcove, or against a blank wall space to add warmth, tactile metal texture, and historic interest to rustic or contemporary schemes.

Authentic period scales often display hand-stamped numbers, maker marks, or date engravings along the beam, alongside evidence of hand-formed chain links and natural oxidisation on the metal surfaces.

These scales typically feature a central brass balance beam with a fulcrum point, connected by brass link chains to two suspended metal pans, often formed from spun copper or sheet brass.

Historically, hanging balance scales were employed in markets, kitchens, and apothecary shops to measure goods, produce, and powders against standardised weights suspended on opposing pans.
