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

Carpet bowls were developed in the nineteenth century as an indoor adaptation of traditional lawn bowls, designed to be played on household carpets during winter months.

Carpet bowls were predominantly turned from dense hardwoods such as laburnum, lignum vitae, or boxwood, as well as glazed earthenware and ceramic variants.

Authentic examples feature offset bias turned into the wood, hand-carved or inlaid bone markers for bias identification, and minor surface wear consistent with historical indoor use.

A set of wooden carpet bowls is typically styled by grouping them inside a shallow copper or brass basin, a large wooden bowl, or arranged as decorative accents along bookshelf displays.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply beeswax polish periodically to preserve the natural grain.
