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.

This Edwardian double gun case is formed from oak wrapped in warm brown leather, styled in the Victorian sporting tradition. The rectangular chest has a stitched leather carrying handle at the top, a central brass lock plate flanked by brass plates, two vertically oriented leather securing straps with metal buckles, and protective brass corner caps on all corners. Scuffs and surface marks show across the aged leather exterior. The practical object measures 9 cm high, 82 cm wide, and 33 cm deep. At home, this piece rests flat on top of a sideboard to hold accessories or papers, or displays as an accent on a low table in a study or hallway. The interior houses cleaning rods inside a green felt lined fitted compartment, secured by a working key in the brass lock.

FAQs

Traditionally crafted in nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain, these cases were designed to protect break-down shotguns during transit to country shooting estates, featuring a solid oak timber frame covered in heavy hide.

They were built with a solid oak core lined with wool baize or felt, wrapped in thick bridle leather, reinforced with cast brass corner caps, and secured with heavy leather straps and brass lever locks.

Look for hand-stitched seams along the hide border, aged cast brass hardware showing gentle oxidisation, an oak interior construction, and natural surface patina across the exterior leather.

Position the case flat on a sideboard top, stack it alongside vintage leather luggage in a hallway, or present it on open shelving in a study to introduce texture and historic character.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent the hide from drying out, and periodically treat the exterior with a high-quality leather wax or balsam.
