Description

Collection of Original English 19th Century Antique Witch Balls

A large superb collection of fifteen, original and in perfect condition, English antique witch balls. They vary in size, shape and colour, the largest being 25cm in diameter to the smallest at 11cm in diameter. These are true antique witch balls, not reproductions. It is said they were hung in cottage windows from the 17th century in England to ward away evil spirits, witches and bad fortune. It was believed that the witches would see their reflection in these balls and be scared away and thus keeping the home safe. A rare to find collection.

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.
