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

Memento mori items serve as symbolic reminders of mortality, a motif dating back to classical antiquity that gained widespread popularity during the medieval period and Victorian era.

Historical examples were commonly hand-carved from bovine bone, timber, or ivory, often secured to turned wooden pedestals or metal fittings.

Genuine historic pieces display natural surface patination, fine hand-carving marks, subtle organic variations in density, and light oxidisation where metal pinions meet the bone.

Position the piece within a glazed glass cloche, display it on a study bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes, or integrate it into a curated cabinet of curiosities.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush, avoid chemical detergents, and keep the object away from direct sunlight or damp conditions to prevent material cracking.
