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.
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.
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.

An admiralty pattern anchor features a central shank, two curved arms with flukes, and a perpendicular stock designed to ensure the flukes grip the seabed. Common from the 18th to 19th centuries, these heavy iron structures were hand-forged for wooden sailing vessels.

During the 18th century, anchors were crafted by hand-forging individual bars of wrought iron together at extreme temperatures in specialised anchor smithies. This layered, hand-worked iron structure provided flexibility and high resistance to fracturing under heavy marine stress.

Authentic 18th-century anchors display hand-hammered surface texture, irregular weld lines, and a distinctive tapered profile typical of early forging techniques. They lack modern cast-iron seam lines or machine-stamped serial numbers, featuring forged iron stock keys and heavy shackles instead.

A large wrought iron anchor serves as an impactful focal point when placed in coastal gardens, courtyard entranceways, or alongside gravel drives. Pair it with native grasses or stone paving to highlight its rustic, industrial silhouette against natural textures.

To preserve weathered wrought iron while maintaining its natural patination, apply a coat of translucent microcrystalline wax or breathable sealant annually. Ensure the base rests on well-draining stone or gravel to prevent standing water from accelerating heavy corrosion.
