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 the nineteenth century, monocular brass microscopes became standard precision instruments for scientific, medical, and botanical research, manufactured predominantly by specialised optical instrument makers in major urban centres.

Antique microscopes were typically constructed from polished brass components with heavy cast iron bases for stability, housed within fitted mahogany or oak carrying boxes designed to protect delicate optical glass lenses.

Authentic pieces feature hand-engraved maker names or serial numbers on the brass body tube, mechanical rack-and-pinion focusing gears, lacquered metal finishes, and custom-fitted wooden storage cases with period brass hardware.

Display the microscope either inside its open wooden case or standalone on a flat surface, paired alongside bound books, brass navigational instruments, and architectural framed prints in a home office or library.

Dust the brass components gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip original lacquers or natural patination, and treat the external timber case periodically with neutral beeswax polish.
