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

Folding silver-plated washbasins were installed in first-class railway sleeping carriages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designed to conserve space in tight quarters, these tip-up basins folded flat into wall recesses when not in use.

These fixtures were typically manufactured from nickel silver or electroplated silver over heavy brass and copper for durability. Internal plumbing components and mounting hardware were made from solid brass to withstand continuous travel.

Authentic railway sinks often feature stamped railway company initials, maker marks, or patent numbers along the trim or frame. They exhibit heavy-gauge metal construction and specialized mechanical push-buttons or release latches designed for carriage integration.

These items serve as distinctive statement fixtures in compact cloakrooms or industrial-style bathrooms when adapted for modern plumbing. Alternatively, they can be mounted as decorative wall features or architectural focal points in home bars.

Clean the surface gently using a specialized silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to prevent wear to the silver plating. Ensure mechanical hinges remain clean, and avoid abrasive chemicals that can strip electroplated finishes or oxidize brass fittings.
