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

Introduced to Western homes during the 19th century through trade with East Asia, dinner gongs became standard features in British country houses. Placed in hallways or dining rooms, they were struck by household staff to announce the commencement of formal meals.

Tabletop gongs were typically constructed using cast or spun brass, bronze, or nickel silver for the resonant disc. The supporting structures and bases were commonly made from native hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, complemented by a padded wooden striker.

Authentic period gongs display natural patination, subtle surface irregularities from hand-hammering or etching, and evidence of hand-turned wood construction. Original mounting hooks, period-correct cordage, and matching dedicated striker holders are additional indicators of age.

Position the gong as a tactile accent piece on a hallway console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. The warm tones of brass and oak pair well alongside contemporary ceramics, framed artwork, or foliage to add historical interest to modern spaces.

Dust the item regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. To maintain unlacquered brass, apply a dedicated metal polish sparingly if shine is desired, or leave unpolished to preserve natural patination; clean the wooden base with beeswax polish to nourish the oak.
