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

Portholes, historically known as port lights, are circular glass windows encased in heavy metal frames designed to admit light and fresh air into the lower decks of ocean-going vessels while maintaining structural integrity against water ingress.

19th-century portholes were predominantly cast in heavy brass, bronze, or iron, paired with thick tempered glass panes capable of withstanding severe wave impact and saltwater exposure.

Authentic period portholes display substantial physical weight, hand-machined threaded dogs or wing-nut fasteners, visible casting marks, and uneven natural patination from exposure to marine environments.

These items are frequently installed as functional accent windows in bathrooms, mounted onto interior doors, or styled as decorative wall features in coastal and industrial design schemes.

To preserve the historical surface finish, clean the brass with a soft, dry cloth and apply microcrystalline wax to prevent further oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip natural patina.
