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

Pocket pistols, also referred to as muff pistols, were compact firearms designed for personal defence during the 18th and 19th centuries, adopting percussion cap mechanisms after their introduction in the 1820s.

These items typically featured steel or iron barrels and receivers combined with dense hardwood stocks made from walnut, mahogany, or rosewood.

Authentic pieces generally display period proof marks stamped into the lock or barrel, natural surface oxidisation, and hand-carved joinery details rather than modern cast components.

Collectors frequently display antique militaria inside framed shadow boxes, glazed glass cabinets, or mounted beside leather-bound volumes on an office desk or library shelf.

Apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to iron and steel components to prevent corrosion, store in a dry environment with stable humidity, and wipe wood grips with a soft lint-free cloth.
