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

A pocket spyglass is a compact optical monocular designed for magnification while travelling. They were widely produced during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for naval, military, and civilian observation.

Traditional spyglasses feature drawn brass inner tubes, ground glass lenses, and protective outer barrels wrapped in materials such as leather, shagreen, or tortoiseshell, often accompanied by a rigid leather carrying case.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut brass threading, age-appropriate patination or oxidisation on metal elements, original lead-glass lenses, and natural surface wear on the leather casing.

An antique spyglass serves as a subtle accent object when placed on an office desk, styled on a stack of books within a bookshelf, or arranged alongside other curiosities in a cabinet.

Keep the item in a humidity-controlled environment, clean glass elements gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid applying harsh chemical polishes to the brass or leather barrel.
