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 tantalus is a small cabinet or metal frame designed to hold spirit decanters securely behind a locked bar mechanism. Invented in the late 19th century, it kept spirits visible while preventing unauthorised consumption.

Traditional tantaluses feature frames constructed from silver plate, brass, or dark hardwoods such as oak and mahogany, paired with heavy cut-lead crystal or glass decanters.

Authentic pieces feature working lock mechanisms, original cut-glass stoppers tailored to each bottle, and makers marks stamped into the silver plate or brass frame.

Position the piece on a dining room sideboard, drinks trolley, or low bookshelf to serve as a functional bar accessory within contemporary or traditional schemes.

Clean the silver frame gently using a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh abrasives. Wash glass decanters by hand with warm water and mild detergent, ensuring they dry completely before inserting stoppers.
