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

Georgian copper measuring jugs, frequently produced in a haystack silhouette, were standard liquid containers used throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries in taverns, markets, and domestic kitchens to measure ale, cider, and spirits.

These historical vessels were crafted by hand from sheet copper, shaped around formers, and joined using brazed or dovetailed seams, finished with riveted or brazed loop handles and lead verification marks.

Authentic period examples feature heavy-gauge copper construction, visible dovetailing or brazing along the seams, subtle hand-hammering marks, and stamped lead weights near the rim applied by historical weights and measures inspectors.

A graduated set of copper measures can be arranged along kitchen shelving, displayed across a sideboard top, or aligned on a mantelpiece to introduce warm metal tones into contemporary or period rooms.

Clean copper metalware using warm water and mild soap with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or harsh polishes that strip away the natural oxidisation and historical surface patina.
