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

During WW1, officers were expected to purchase their own equipment, including high-powered binocular field glasses for reconnaissance, artillery observation, and trench surveillance. Manufacturers in France and the UK supplied these optics to military specifications.

Military optics of this era were typically constructed from solid brass for structural durability, covered with textured leather grips to ensure a secure hold in wet field conditions, and housed in thick leather carrying cases.

Authentic military field glasses from this period frequently feature broad arrow military acceptance stamps, maker marks on the eyepieces or objective rims, central knurled focusing wheels, and matching serialized leather cases.

Antique military binoculars function as tactile decorative accents when displayed on open shelving, layered atop stacks of leather-bound books, or positioned on a dark wood desk within a study or home office.

Preserve the historical surface patina by avoiding harsh chemical brass polishes. Dust the glass lenses gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply specialized leather conditioner sparingly to prevent drying or cracking on the body grips and case.
