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 marine telescope, or spyglass, is a hand-held optical instrument designed with concentric sliding brass tubes used for magnification at sea during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These instruments feature drawn brass tubes fitted with achromatic glass lenses and are frequently wrapped in leather or textured materials to enhance grip and protect against salt air exposure.

Authentic historic examples exhibit smooth mechanical draw action, hand-engraved maker signatures near the eyepiece, original surface patination, and aged optical glass.

Display the item extended or collapsed atop a desk, bookshelf, or side table alongside leather-bound books and brass instruments.

Dust gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive brass polishes that strip historical patina, and keep optical lenses clean using specialised lens-cleaning brushes.
