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

Ship bells were traditionally used on naval and merchant vessels for timekeeping, signalling in heavy fog, and sounding watch alarms. Each bell was often custom-cast with the official name of the vessel upon construction.

Maritime bells are typically constructed from dense copper alloys such as brass or bronze. These metals are favoured for their rich acoustic resonance and high resistance to corrosion from salt air and sea spray.

Authentic ship bells often feature cast or engraved vessel names, historical foundry marks, and evidence of physical wear around the clapper and mounting points. The acoustic tone and substantial weight of the metal also distinguish original castings.

A brass ship bell serves as a structured decorative accent on a wooden office desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound books and map instruments. The metallic sheen provides warm visual contrast when placed against dark timber or painted backgrounds.

Brass objects should be dusted regularly with a clean microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and surface dust. Occasional gentle treatment with a specialised metal cleaner will reduce tarnish and restore the reflective finish.
