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

Freestanding towel rails, historically referred to as towel horses or towel maidens, became popular during the 19th century to hold and dry towels and linens beside washstands before modern fitted bathrooms and integrated heating existed.

These items were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or beech. They feature mortise and tenon joints, turned vertical supports, and horizontal crossbars to withstand moisture and weight.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned upright supports, scrolled top rail terminals, pegged joinery, and a original surface finish showing natural age-related patination and light wear along the horizontal bars.

In addition to drying towels in a bathroom, these versatile wooden frames can be placed in a bedroom or guest room to display quilts, throws, and blankets, or used as a valet stand for clothing.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly and applying a beeswax polish occasionally. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure wet items draped over the bars are damp rather than dripping wet to protect the historic wood finish.
