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

A sword stick, or cane sword, emerged in the 18th century as a fashionable personal defence weapon for gentlemen. As carrying open swords fell out of social favour, craftsmen concealed steel blades within traditional wooden walking shafts, combining everyday utility with hidden protection.

Traditional sword canes commonly feature lightweight, durable woods such as Malacca cane, bamboo, oak, or rosewood for the outer shaft. Handles were often crafted from matching wood, horn, or silver, while the concealed blades were forged from tempered carbon steel, frequently produced in renowned centres like Toledo or Solingen.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit genuine age patina on the wooden shaft, original brass or iron ferrules at the tip, and hand-etched or stamped maker marks near the blade ricasso. Furthermore, traditional friction-fit or press-button locking mechanisms will show hand-fitted metal collars rather than modern mass-produced fittings.

An antique sword cane is best styled mounted on a wall bracket in a study or hall, or positioned within a vintage cast-iron umbrella stand alongside other tactile canes. It adds historical character and visual structure when placed near dark wood shelving or library seating.

Keep the steel blade free of moisture by applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax or mineral oil periodically to prevent rust. Clean the wooden cane shaft with a dry soft cloth and nourish polished surfaces using natural beeswax, avoiding harsh chemical solvents.
