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

Developed in the early 19th century following the invention of the percussion cap system, pocket pistols provided a compact solution for personal defence. Their small size allowed them to be carried discreetly in coats or muff pockets.

These pistols were constructed using hardened steel or iron for the barrels and action mechanisms, paired with shaped timber stocks made from native hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany.

Authentic period examples feature maker marks or proof stamps on the barrel or frame, period-appropriate thread pitches on screws, and hand-cut engraving along the action plates.

Small antique firearms are frequently mounted within custom velvet-lined shadow boxes or placed on bespoke brass stands inside library shelving units or glass vitrines.

Metal surfaces should be lightly wiped with microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation, while timber stocks require controlled relative humidity to prevent cracking or warping.
