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 nineteenth century, leather spirit cases were designed to protect and carry glass bottles for outdoor expeditions, sporting events, and travel. These cases featured fitted compartments to prevent glass breakage while in transit.

Construction typically incorporated thick hide leather with hand-stitched seams, brass locks or buckles, and moulded glass bottles topped with cork or metal stoppers.

Authentic examples feature period-appropriate brass hardware, stamped maker marks or patent numbers on the lock mechanism, natural wear on the leather patina, and hand-blown or early moulded glass bottles with cork closures.

A leather bottle case functions as a decorative accent on a sideboard, bar cart, or library shelf. It adds textural warmth when paired with brass accessories, glass decanters, or timber furniture.

Preserve leather by storing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or cracking. Clean gently with a soft cloth and apply specialist leather conditioner sparingly to maintain flexibility.
