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

Sword sticks, or cane swords, gained popularity during the 19th century as a discreet means of personal protection for gentlemen walking through urban areas at night.

Authentic pieces typically feature shaft materials like malacca wood, exotic hardwoods, or bamboo, combined with steel blades, silver or brass collars, and handles carved from dense woods such as lignum vitae or horn.

Authentication involves examining the forge marks on the steel blade, checking the locking mechanism for the scabbard fit, and inspecting the natural ageing, patina, and wear on the materials.

This type of historical artefact integrates well into a study or library display, mounted securely on a wall or placed within a specialized display case alongside other antique militaria.

The steel blade should be occasionally treated with microcrystalline wax or light oil to prevent oxidation, while the wooden shaft benefits from conditioning with neutral beeswax to maintain moisture.
