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

A snaphaunce is an early form of flintlock mechanism developed in the late sixteenth century, featuring a separate frizzen and pan cover rather than a single combined unit.

These regional firearms typically feature hand-forged steel lock mechanisms, dense hardwood stocks such as walnut, and decorative inlay crafted from silver or brass wire.

Authentic historical pieces display period-appropriate hand craftsmanship, natural operational wear patterns, hand-engraved metalwork, and functional mechanised components like manual pan covers and ball triggers.

Antique pistols are frequently mounted inside custom display cases, positioned on acrylic stands, or framed as wall art within a gentlemans library, study, or hallway setting.

Metal surfaces require periodic application of microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation, while the wooden stock must be kept in a climate-controlled environment away from direct humidity and heat.
