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.

Developed during the nineteenth century, a marine bulkhead barometer is a robust, wall-mounted instrument designed to measure atmospheric pressure aboard ships to forecast changing weather conditions.

These instruments typically feature heavy cast brass casings to withstand corrosive marine environments, housing an aneroid capsule mechanism, glass cover, and a hardwood backing plate such as oak or mahogany.

Authentic period examples feature heavy cast brass construction, hand-engraved or printed dials with period typography, precision mechanical pointers, and frequently bear maker marks from established instrument manufacturers.

Mount the instrument as part of a gallery wall, position it on a narrow wall space in an entryway, or pair it with dark timber panelling in a study to create a classic, curated aesthetic.

Dust the timber base regularly with a soft dry cloth and polish the brass housing gently with specialized metal polish, ensuring liquids do not enter the glass casing or alter the internal mechanism.
