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

Fairground swing boats and carousel boats originated in the late nineteenth century as popular components of travelling amusement fairs across Great Britain and Europe.

These structures were typically built using riveted sheet iron, forged wrought iron safety rails, and timber seating, finished with durable hand-painted oil coats to endure outdoor exposure.

Authentic pieces feature heavy riveted seams, hand-forged ironwork, multiple layers of historic paint showing natural weathering, and signs of structural adaptation for ride mechanisms.

It serves as a dramatic sculptural focal point in industrial loft spaces, a unique courtyard garden planter, or an artistic feature in high-ceiling commercial interiors.

Maintain the original patina by removing loose surface dirt with a soft brush, applying a microcrystalline wax to stabilize oxidisation, and keeping the item in a dry environment.
