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 Tower percussion pistol is a 19th-century British military handgun manufactured under Board of Ordnance contract, utilising a percussion cap ignition mechanism rather than an earlier flintlock system.

These firearms were typically constructed using dense walnut wood for the stock, forged iron or steel for the barrel and lock mechanism, and brass for protective elements such as the trigger guard and butt cap.

Authentic examples feature crown markings alongside the word TOWER stamped on the lock plate, British Ordnance proof marks on the barrel, and period-appropriate age patina on metal and timber components.

Antique pistols are frequently displayed inside glazed shadow boxes, mounted on custom metal stands on a bookshelf, or arranged on a study mantelpiece alongside historical cartography and leather-bound books.

Preservation requires storing the object in a climate-controlled environment, regularly applying microcrystalline wax to steel components to prevent oxidisation, and conditioning the walnut stock with natural wax.
