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

Hand bells from the early to mid-20th century were primarily functional objects used in schools, churches, estates, and municipal settings to signal assemblies or convey announcements.

These bells are typically constructed with a cast brass or bronze body, an internal iron or brass clapper, and a turned hardwood handle, often finished with ebonised paint or clear lacquer.

Authentic period pieces feature cast construction with noticeable weight, fine incised turning lines on the bell body, natural wear on the wooden handle, and subtle casting marks or maker stamps near the collar.

A brass hand bell can be positioned on a study desk, bookshelf, or sideboard as an accent piece, introducing metallic warmth and historic character to modern or eclectic decor.

The brass surface can be wiped with a microfibre cloth and occasionally treated with specialised metal polish to maintain shine, while the wooden handle should be dusted regularly and kept free from harsh chemical cleaners.
