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.

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

An antique veterinary vaccinating lancet was a specialised surgical instrument designed to make small incisions for administering vaccines or performing minor procedures on livestock during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These instruments typically featured carbon steel blades paired with handles made from organic materials such as tortoiseshell, horn, or bone, and were preserved in leather or paperboard cases.

Authentic pieces feature period maker marks stamped near the blade heel, period-correct metal patination, hand-finished scale edges, and matching fitted cases with period tooling.

Small medical curiosities are frequently displayed inside glass cloches, brass-framed shadow boxes, or arranged within cabinet-of-curiosity bookshelf displays.

Keep the object in a dry environment to prevent rust, coat steel elements with microcrystalline wax, and store organic handles away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
