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

Apprentice pieces or journeyman pieces were small-scale items crafted by craftsmen in training to demonstrate their mastery of traditional skills to their guild or master before achieving full qualification.

These items were typically constructed using genuine leather, miniature brass eyelets, and traditional cord laces, mirroring the exact construction methods of full-sized footwear from the period.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit genuine period wear, hand-stitched details, oxidised metal hardware, and appropriate ageing of the leather, whereas reproductions often feature modern adhesives and artificial distress.

They can be displayed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or inside glass cabinets as part of a curated collection of curiosities and historical objects.

Keep leather items away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Avoid applying modern conditioning oils without professional advice, as historical leather can react unpredictably to treatments.
