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

A spill holder was designed to store thin wooden splints or tightly rolled paper spills, which were used to transfer fire from a hearth to light candles, lamps, or pipes.

These items were crafted on a lathe using dense hardwoods like mahogany or fruitwood, featuring turned rings, moulded bases, and flat shaped backplates for wall mounting.

Authentic period treen exhibits subtle asymmetrical shrinkage from drying wood, distinct turning marks from manual lathes, and a developed patina from historic handling.

It can be mounted beside a fireplace surround, positioned on a mantelpiece, or displayed on a curated bookshelf as an accent piece.

Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth and periodically nourish the wood with a high-grade natural beeswax, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
