Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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.

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

A boxlock flintlock pistol features the breech and the lock mechanism forged as a single unit, with the frizzen and pan positioned centrally, popular for personal defence in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

These sets typically incorporated steel barrels and mechanisms, walnut or ebony grips with checkering, and fitted wooden cases lined with baize, velvet, or wool.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct maker marks, hand-engraved metalwork, natural wear consistent with age, and original matching components within fitted compartment cases.

Displaying cased pistols inside a glass-fronted cabinet or mounted securely on a library wall adds a touch of historical gravitas to study or office spaces.

Keep pistols in a stable climate with low humidity, apply microcrystalline wax to metal components to prevent oxidisation, and avoid direct sunlight on wooden cases and interior linings.
