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.
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.
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.

Originally designed to transport artillery shells during the First World War, these heavy-duty leather vessels were manufactured from thick hide to prevent sparking and protect munitions. Today, they are frequently repurposed as functional stick stands or umbrella holders in domestic interiors.

These vessels were crafted using heavy saddle leather, thick hand-stitched seams, and reinforced circumferential rims to support military weight. They feature thick leather carrying handles attached to the body using heavy metal copper or brass rivets.

Authentic pieces display heavy-gauge patinated leather, visible hand-stitching, and metal rivets securing the handle. Original military shell carriers frequently bear impressed broad arrow ordnance marks, date stamps, or manufacturer initials near the rim.

A leather shell carrier serves as an entryway stick stand or umbrella holder when placed near a front door or porch. Its deep brown tone and utility form also allow it to sit beside a fireplace hearth to store tools or logs.

Position the item away from direct radiators and moist environments to avoid drying or mould. Apply a specialized leather conditioner or beeswax polish periodically to feed the hide while preserving the historical patina.
