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

Trench art encompasses items created by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians using military debris, shell casings, and ordnance components. The practice gained widespread prominence during the First World War, turning battlefield waste into functional or commemorative objects.

Trench art lighting pieces typically incorporate spent brass shell casings, iron bayonet sockets, rifle hardware, and hand-forged steel straps. These components were reshaped, riveted, or welded together using available metalsmithing tools.

Authentic pieces often exhibit original military ordnance markings, factory serial numbers, or maker stamps on component parts. Signs of hand-working, period joinery methods like riveting, and natural surface patination also indicate age and original construction.

These structured metal pieces pair effectively with raw timber surfaces, exposed brick, and muted colour palettes. Position them symmetrically on a sideboard or mantelpiece to create an industrial focal point within traditional or modern interiors.

Keep metal items in a dry indoor environment to prevent active corrosion or rust formation. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to protect the natural patination and surface finish.
