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

During the Napoleonic Wars, French prisoners held in British depots crafted decorative items from residual animal bones to sell to locals for extra income.

Artisans carved individual tiles from animal bone, smoothing the surfaces before incising pips and dividing lines, which were filled with dark pigment or ink.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit minor structural variations, natural bone pores visible under magnification, hand-drilled pips, and natural patination.

Display the set with the box partially open on a coffee table tray, a bookshelf, or inside a glass cabinet alongside other historic miscellanea.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, keeping the set away from direct sunlight, excess moisture, and sudden temperature changes.
