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.

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

Tropical cameras were designed specifically for use in hot and humid climates during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Standard cameras of the era often warped or deteriorated in tropical environments, so makers utilised resilient woods like polished teak or mahogany, along with nickel or brass fittings and reinforced leather bellows, to ensure durability.

These instruments were predominantly constructed using dense, rot-resistant hardwoods such as polished teak, mahogany, or walnut. Metal components were made from solid lacquered brass or nickel-plated metal, while the folding bellows were made from treated leather, often in distinctive shades like red or tan.

Authentic pieces feature visible solid brass or nickel reinforcement plates, brass screws, and tropical wood framing rather than standard polished fruitwoods. They typically bear makers nameplates or engraved lens rings from prominent manufacturers such as C.P. Goerz Berlin, Deckel, or Thornton-Pickard.

Interior designers frequently position brass and wood scientific instruments on open shelving, executive office desks, or sideboard tops to add texture and historical interest. They work effectively within study settings, libraries, or curated cabinet of curiosities displays.

Keep the object in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture. Dust gently using a soft, lint-free cloth or camel-hair brush, and avoid applying harsh metal polishes or liquid cleaners to preserved brass and leather surfaces.
