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

During the 19th century, human skulls were utilised as anatomical study aids in medical teaching faculties and universities to educate students in osteology and cranial morphology.

Historical anatomical specimens were cleaned, bleached, and frequently modified with cut calvariums secured using brass wire, hooks, or hinges to allow interior inspection of the cranial vault.

Authentic 19th-century specimens typically feature hand-cut craniotomy lines, hand-fashioned brass or iron hardware attachments, aged surface patina, and distinct natural wear across the dental structures.

Specimen objects are typically displayed under glass cloches, positioned on dark wooden shelving within a library, or incorporated into cabinet of curiosities arrangements alongside antique brass instruments.

Keep the specimen in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme dry heat. Dust gently with a dry soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents or moisture.
