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

Primitive rocking horses from the 19th century were typically hand-carved by local craftsmen using solid timber, characterised by simplified folk-art proportions and mounted on curved bow rockers rather than later mechanical safety stands.

These traditional toys were constructed using hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods, held together with wooden pegs or iron fasteners, and finished with gesso or milk paint alongside leather saddlery and forged iron stirrups.

Authentic period examples exhibit genuine signs of age such as natural paint wear, visible hand-carving tool marks, forged iron hardware, aged leather tack with natural patination, and solid wood construction.

A primitive rocking horse functions as a sculptural accent in an entryway, empty hearth, or nursery, creating a textural contrast when set against neutral contemporary backdrops or paired with period timber furniture.

Dust the wooden body gently with a soft dry brush, position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and treat original leather elements with specialist conservation wax to prevent dry rot.
