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 and following the First World War, commercial foundries and artisans produced commemorative items shaped like military ordnance, such as Mills bomb hand grenades, to function as savings banks and patriotic souvenirs.

These items were predominantly cast in heavy iron or brass and finished with dark paint, lacquer, or left untreated to develop a natural patinated surface.

Authentic period examples exhibit heavy cast-metal construction, prominent seam lines from two-part moulds, integrated coin slots, and natural signs of age-appropriate surface oxidisation.

Small metal curiosities serve well as functional paperweights or decorative accents when placed on a study desk, industrial console table, or library bookshelf.

Store the item in a dry indoor environment to prevent rust, dust periodically using a soft dry cloth, and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to seal and protect the metal finish.
