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

Travelling reading lamps were compact, portable lighting devices designed for use during journeys by carriage or train, often featuring spring-loaded mechanisms and directional hoods to focus light without draught interference.

These lamps were commonly manufactured from solid brass or steel, frequently plated with nickel or silver to enhance durability, reflect light, and prevent surface corrosion.

Authentic Veritas pieces generally feature stamped manufacturer markings on the shade, rim, or base, alongside period-appropriate spring mechanisms and characteristic nickel-plating patination.

Position the piece on a dark timber bureau, a contemporary bookshelf, or a bedside table to create a focal point that contrasts antique metalwork with minimalist interior schemes.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and apply a non-abrasive metal cleaner specifically formulated for nickel when removing oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical solvents.
