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

Developed in the early eighteenth century, the ships wheel replaced the traditional tiller to provide sailors with improved mechanical leverage when steering large wooden vessels via a system of ropes and pulleys connected to the rudder.

Mid-nineteenth-century ships wheels were typically crafted from dense, durable hardwoods such as oak, teak, or mahogany, often assembled with iron or brass fittings at the centre hub to withstand marine environments.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-lathed turning on the spokes, square or keyway axle apertures in the central hub, historic paint layers showing natural surface wear, and age-consistent oxidisation on metallic components.

An antique ships wheel functions effectively as a focal architectural element when wall-mounted above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a hallway display, pairing well with coastal, rustic farmhouse, or eclectic interiors.

Preserve painted wooden antiques by displaying them in stable indoor environments away from direct heat sources and dampness. Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or excessive moisture that could destabilise historic paint.
