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

Victorian postal scales were introduced in the nineteenth century following postal reforms, such as the Uniform Penny Post in 1840, to accurately weigh letters and calculate postage rates based on weight.

These scales were typically crafted from solid brass or bronze mounted on a polished timber base, such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often accompanied by calibrated brass weights.

Authentic pieces feature engraved postage rates directly on the scale pan, stamped weight markings in drams or ounces, and cast brass balance arms set into a solid hardwood base.

Antique postal scales function as decorative accents on a home office desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, adding historical texture to study or library settings.

Dust the wooden base with a dry microfibre cloth and polish occasionally with beeswax, while cleaning the brass elements with a soft cloth to preserve the natural patina without removing aged oxidisation.
