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

Mortars carved from solid stone or marble were historically used in apothecaries, kitchens, and laboratories for grinding herbs, spices, pigments, and chemical compounds.

These vessels were hand-carved from a single block of marble, typically featuring four carved lug handles around the rim to allow a secure grip during heavy grinding.

Authentic period mortars display hand-chiselled tool marks, smooth interior wear from centuries of use, and natural patination or mineral discolouration rather than uniform modern machine finishing.

A substantial stone mortar works effectively as a sculptural centrepiece on a kitchen island, a vessel on a console table, or a planter in an outdoor garden scheme.

Clean natural stone mortars with warm water and a neutral pH soap, avoiding acidic household cleaners such as vinegar which can etch the marble surface.
