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

These heavy mechanical devices were widely used in nineteenth and early twentieth-century offices, print shops, and notary public practices to emboss seals, stamp official documents, or impress paper.

They were typically manufactured from solid cast iron to ensure stability during operation, often featuring japanned black enamel finishes decorated with gilt hand-painted foliate motifs and brass fittings.

Authentic period examples display substantial weight, natural wear to the painted surface decoration, cast seam lines, and era-appropriate mechanical fasteners such as original slotted screws.

A decorative cast iron press serves well as a tactile paperweight or accent object on an executive office desk, bookshelf, or console table within industrial or dark academia inspired interiors.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical solvents or abrasive polishes that could damage the original hand-painted gilt decoration or lacquer finish.
