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.

FAQs

Sword sticks, or cane swords, gained popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as a discreet means of personal protection for gentlemen walking through urban areas at night.

Authentic pieces typically feature a hardened steel blade concealed within a wooden shaft made from exotic timbers like palmwood, bamboo, or malacca, often finished with precious metal collars.

Authenticity is determined by examining the maker marks, the quality of the steel blade forging, the locking mechanism of the sheath, and the natural wear patterns on the wooden shaft.

Such historic items are best displayed mounted horizontally within a dedicated collector cabinet or secured inside a glass-fronted wall display case alongside other period curiosities.

To preserve the timber and steel, keep the item in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, periodically apply microcrystalline wax to the wood, and lightly oil the metal blade.
