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

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, barbershops stored individual personalised shaving mugs in open cubby cabinets for regular customers to maintain hygienic standards.

These mugs were typically crafted from hard-paste porcelain or white earthenware, featuring hand-painted enamel illustrations and gold leaf lettering, while the display racks were constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or oak.

Authentic examples feature hand-painted names, occupational illustrations, or lodge symbols, often accompanied by maker marks on the base and natural surface wear around the gilding and foot rim.

A wooden mug display cabinet functions as wall-mounted or tabletop accent decor within a study, bathroom, or commercial grooming space, providing structural symmetry and historical interest.

Clean porcelain mugs gently using soft cloths and mild soapy water, avoiding abrasive chemicals that strip gilded elements, while dusting wooden racks regularly and applying paste wax to maintain the finish.
