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 tantalus games compendium is a specialised wooden box from the early twentieth century featuring a lockable frame for spirits decanters alongside integrated storage for various table games.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring lead crystal decanters, silver-plated or nickel mounts, and game pieces made from bone, wood, or composition materials.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, original stamped locking mechanisms, hand-cut crystal decanters with matching numbers, and fitted interior compartments.

Position the compendium on a sideboard, library table, or drinks cabinet, displaying it either closed or open to showcase the crystal decanters and gaming accessories.

Apply clear beeswax polish periodically to the timber, wash glass decanters manually with warm water, and keep metal mountings clean using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
