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

A gavel is a small ceremonial mallet used by presiding officers, judges, or auctioneers to call meetings to order or signal the sale of an item. Historically crafted from dense hardwoods like boxwood, these items provided a sharp, authoritative sound without splitting upon impact.

Boxwood is an extremely dense, fine-grained hardwood highly favoured in woodturning for its structural strength and resistance to cracking. Its tight texture allows for fine lathe work and yields a distinctive smooth, light brown surface over time.

Authentic 19th-century gavels typically feature hand-turned decorative moulding, precise incised concentric lines, and natural wear marks on the striking surface. The presence of a warm patina, subtle asymmetry from age, and dense weight characteristic of hardwoods like boxwood further indicate authenticity.

A turned wood gavel functions as a decorative object when displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or console table alongside leather-bound books or brass accessories. It adds historical interest and textural warmth to office spaces, libraries, or curated vignette displays.

To preserve boxwood, wipe it regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid placing it near direct heat sources or damp environments. Occasional application of a high-quality beeswax polish will protect the wood grain and maintain its natural finish.
