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

Introduced in the early 19th century to replace flintlock mechanisms, percussion pistols used a copper cap filled with fulminate of mercury to ignite the main powder charge, offering improved reliability in damp weather.

These firearms were typically built using dense hardwoods such as walnut for the stock, alongside forged steel or iron for the octagonal barrel and internal lock mechanism.

Authentic pieces often display British proof marks stamped onto the barrel, maker signatures engraved along the lockplate, and period-accurate hand-chequering on the wooden stock.

Displayed on a bespoke wooden stand, a piece like this serves as a focal accent on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or within a study alongside leather-bound volumes.

Keep the metal components lightly oiled with microcrystalline wax or specialist oil to prevent oxidisation, and store the item in a humidity-controlled environment away from direct sunlight.
