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

Folk art toys are characterised by naive, hand-crafted forms created by local woodworkers or artisans rather than commercial factories. They feature simplified shapes, hand-carved details, and utilitarian finishes that reflect regional craftsmanship.

Historical pull toys were primarily fashioned from local hardwoods or softwoods, joined with wooden pegs or simple metal fasteners. Painted finishes utilised natural pigments, and details like tails or manes were often crafted from natural hemp or horsehair.

Authentic period examples display signs of genuine wear, such as hand-carved tool marks, irregular wheel proportions, oxidisation around iron fasteners, and layered paint loss revealing underlying timber.

These sculptural objects function well as rustic accents when placed on open shelving, mantelpieces, or sideboard tops. Their textured finishes contrast effectively against smooth modern surfaces or minimal backgrounds.

Preserve the original paint layers by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, harsh chemical cleaners, or direct sunlight, which can cause timber movement and flaking paint.
