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 shooting peg case was traditionally used during game shoots to randomly allocate position numbers or pegs to participants prior to the drive.

Victorian peg marker boxes were commonly constructed from silver plate, sterling silver, or brass, with individual numbered pegs made from metal or bone.

Authentic nineteenth-century peg cases feature period makers marks or electroplate stamps, precision-fitting lid hinges, and hand-stamped or engraved numerals on the markers.

Small metalware collectables like peg cases can be displayed on an office desk, inside a glass cabinet, or arranged on a tray alongside other vintage curiosities.

Clean silver-plated items using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical bath dips that may strip the silver layer or cause oxidisation.
