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

Avoirdupois brass standard weights were official mass standards used by inspectors of weights and measures to verify commercial trade scales under Imperial measurement systems.

Official weights were typically cast from solid brass or bronze to resist corrosion, lathe-turned or milled, and adjusted with lead inserts inside central cavities to match exact regulatory standards.

Authentic standard weights feature official stamped verification marks, monarchical cyphers, local council inscriptions, maker details, and lead verification plugs within the base or handle.

These solid brass pieces work well displayed on bookshelves, office desks, or mantelpieces, serving as sculptural paperweights or tactile decorative accents in modern or traditional interiors.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip official stamped details; mild microcrystalline wax can be applied to preserve the metal surface.
