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

Weather vanes featuring cockerels, traditionally known as weathercocks, have served both functional and decorative purposes on rooftops and spires since the early Middle Ages to indicate wind direction.

During the 19th century, weather vanes were predominantly hand-cut from sheet iron or forged in wrought iron, often finished with lead-based paint to withstand outdoor weathering.

Genuine period examples display natural patination, layered paint loss, pitted oxidisation, and evidence of hand-tooling or hand-hammered rivets rather than modern uniform welds.

Mounted on custom bases, antique weather vanes function as architectural folk art sculptures placed on sideboards, mantels, or open shelving to introduce texture and historical character.

Keep the item in a stable indoor environment, dust gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid applying harsh chemical cleaners or stripping remaining historical paint finishes.
