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.

This 19th-century antique games set includes a hand-carved bone domino collection, a matching cribbage board, carved pegs, and an intricately decorated sliding wood box. The pieces display cross-hatch carving, incised circle pips, and delicate hand-engraved designs in cream and off-white tones, showing authentic historical wear across the surfaces. The box measures 6 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 3.2 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this gentleman's library piece suits placement on a coffee table or a side table as a decorative conversational item. The assembly brings historic Napoleonic craftsmanship into a living space, offering both a display element and a tangible piece of antique gaming history for collectors and enthusiasts.

FAQs

During the Napoleonic Wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, captured soldiers crafted detailed items from animal bone scavenged from food rations to sell for extra income.

Historical domino sets were commonly crafted from bovine or mutton bone, wood, ebony, or marine ivory, featuring hand-engraved pips filled with dark pigment or ink.

Authentic pieces show slight irregularities from hand-carving, natural marrow pores under magnification, and hand-incised pips or decorative hatching rather than modern machine stamping.

Display the open wooden box and carved pieces on a bookshelf, coffee table tray, or inside a glass display cloche to add historical texture and interest to a room.

Keep bone items in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and heat sources, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth without using water or liquid cleaners.
