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

Hand bells were historically used by town criers, schoolteachers, and domestic staff to make public announcements, signal the start of classes, or summon household members.

They were typically constructed with a cast brass body, an internal iron clapper, and a lathe-turned timber handle secured at the top by a brass finial.

Authentic pieces feature signs of functional wear on the internal clapper mechanism, subtle variations from sand-casting, and natural patination on both the brass body and turned handle.

Place the bell as a decorative accent piece on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece to introduce metallic warmth and historic texture to modern styling.

Dust the item regularly with a soft cloth, and if using metal polish on the brass skirt, take care to avoid contact with the timber handle to preserve its natural finish.
