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.

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 tantalus is a framed stand designed to hold spirit decanters securely under a locking crossbar. While originally patented in the late nineteenth century using wooden frames, sleek chromed metal versions emerged during the 1920s and 1930s Art Deco movement.

Art Deco designs predominantly feature nickel-plated brass or chromium-plated steel frames paired with clear cut glass or lead crystal decanters, emphasizing clean geometric lines and metallic reflectivity.

Authentic period pieces often feature streamline geometric silhouettes, functional locking mechanisms with matching keys, heavy stepped bases, and hand-cut glass stoppers tailored to fit each individual decanter.

Position the piece as a focal point on a dark wood credenza, marble bar cart, or modern sideboard alongside mirrored trays and glassware to contrast metallic brightness with warm interior textures.

Clean the metal frame with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized chrome polish, avoiding harsh abrasives. Wash glass decanters by hand with warm water and mild liquid soap, allowing them to dry fully before replacing stoppers.
