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

Continental door knockers from the 18th century frequently featured figurative motifs such as stylized dolphins, lions, or mythological creatures, cast in solid bronze or brass using lost-wax or sand-casting methods.

Period door knockers were primarily cast in bronze or brass, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details such as scales, facial features, and floral rosettes before fitting.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased surface details, subtle asymmetry from manual casting, period-correct threaded fixings, and natural patination within recessed areas.

Mounting an antique door knocker on a painted modern entrance door creates a focal point, or it can be mounted on a bespoke timber block for display as wall art.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft brush or cloth and apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from oxidisation without stripping its natural patina.
