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.
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.
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.

A stick barometer is a wall-mounted instrument developed in the seventeenth century that measures atmospheric pressure using a vertical mercury-filled glass tube housed within a slender wooden case.

Early stick barometers were crafted using hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring brass fittings, glass tubes, and silvered brass register plates for scale readouts.

Key indicators include hand-engraved maker signatures on silvered register plates, period-correct brass screws, natural timber oxidation, and hand-blown glass tubing.

A stick barometer functions effectively as a focal architectural accent when mounted in a narrow hallway, study, or alongside framed artwork in a gallery wall arrangement.

Keep the instrument away from direct heat sources and humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement, nourish the mahogany case with natural beeswax, and maintain the unit in a vertical position.
