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 vessels were primarily utilised by apothecaries, chemists, and households to grind dry ingredients, herbs, and chemical compounds into fine powders prior to preparing dosages or recipes.

Craftsmen typically selected dense, durable hardwoods such as lignum vitae, boxwood, beech, or oak to withstand repeated impact and friction without splitting.

Genuine period examples display evidence of hand-turned lathe marks, natural wear patterns inside the bowl and on the pestle tip, rich patination from handling, and slight wood shrinkage.

These decorative functional items make suitable accent pieces on kitchen islands, open shelving, coffee tables, or sideboards, adding organic texture and historic interest to neutral spaces.

Clean the timber gently using a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding submersion in water, and occasionally apply a clear beeswax paste to protect the original finish.
