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

Victorian brass beam scales were used primarily by apothecaries, grocers, jewellers, and postal workers to accurately weigh goods using calibrated counterweights.

Traditional balance scales were constructed primarily from solid brass, iron, or steel, featuring hand-cast brass pans, suspension chains, and a precision-turned central column.

Authentic period scales often feature stamped maker marks, verification touchmarks on the weights or beam, hand-cut screw threads, and minor hand-finishing variations.

Position brass scales on a sideboard, office desk, or deep window sill as a decorative statement piece, paired alongside leather-bound books or curated brass metalware.

Clean brass scales using a soft, dry cloth and a suitable metal polish if a bright finish is desired, or leave untreated to allow a natural aged patina to develop over time.
