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 lanterns were essential navigation instruments mounted on maritime vessels to indicate position, direction, and orientation at sea, with red indicating port and green or blue indicating starboard.

Copper and brass were selected for marine lanterns due to their high resistance to saltwater corrosion and durability against harsh oceanic weather conditions.

Genuine historical marine lanterns typically feature heavy-gauge sheet copper or brass, stamped serial or vessel identification numbers, cast brass fittings, and thick glass Fresnel lenses.

These lanterns can be displayed on sideboards, mantelpieces, or bookshelves to introduce rich metallic warmth and a subtle maritime character to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass lenses with mild glass cleaner, preserving the natural patination on the metal rather than using harsh abrasive polishes.
