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

Introduced in the early 18th century and refined throughout the 19th century, large wooden ships wheels replaced the traditional tiller to provide sailors with greater leverage when controlling large ocean-going vessels.

Authentic period ships wheels were primarily constructed from dense, water-resistant hardwoods such as teak, mahogany, or oak, often reinforced with brass rings, copper rivets, and heavy iron hubs to withstand harsh marine environments.

Authentic period helms feature hand-turned spokes, mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber grain wear, and brass or bronze fittings showing genuine patination and light surface oxidisation consistent with maritime exposure.

A large ships wheel serves as a focal statement piece when wall-mounted above a sideboard, fireplace, or within an entryway, pairing well with coastal, industrial, or traditional study interiors.

Clean timber elements using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a neutral beeswax polish sparingly, whilst brass components should be left unpolished or gently cleaned to preserve the historic patina.
