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 saddle flask is a specialised glass or metal container housed within a protective leather holster, designed to fasten directly to a horse saddle for carrying drinks during field sports or travel.

Edwardian saddle flasks typically featured hand-blown or cut lead crystal bottles fitted with screw or bayonet tops, encased in heavy-gauge bridle leather with hand-stitched seams and brass buckle straps.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-stitched leatherwork with genuine age patination, starburst or panel-cut detailing on the glass base, and period-appropriate metal fastenings or hallmarks.

An antique saddle flask can be styled on a sideboard alongside vintage glassware, integrated into a curated bookcase in an office, or displayed on a mantelpiece within a country-style interior.

Treat the exterior leather with a quality beeswax polish to retain flexibility, keep the piece away from direct heat sources, and clean the glass interior gently using warm water without submerging the leather case.
