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

In eighteenth and nineteenth-century design, the dolphin was a classical motif symbolising protection, safe harbour, and swiftness, making it a popular choice for nautical and period entrance hardware.

These items were typically sand-cast in solid brass or bronze, followed by hand-chasing to create fine detail such as scales, and fitted with a threaded steel or brass bolt for mounting.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased surface texturing, period-appropriate threaded mounting studs, slight casting irregularities, and natural oxidisation in receded areas.

Mounting the piece on a dark painted wooden front door creates a strong visual focal point, or it can be displayed indoors on a shelf as decorative metalwork.

Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that strip the historical patina.
