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

Paktong is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc imported from China to Western Europe during the 18th century as an alternative to silver.

These items were cast in sections and finished on a lathe, resulting in dense metal construction with turned mouldings and solid bases.

Authentic pieces display a silvery appearance with a subtle yellowish tint, lacking silver plating layers or base-metal exposure underneath.

Set on a mantelpiece or a dining table centre, cast metal candlesticks provide architectural form and texture alongside modern ceramics or glass.

Clean the surface using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that could strip the historical patina.
