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, developed in the 17th century and popularised in the Georgian era, is a vertical mercury-filled instrument designed to measure atmospheric pressure and forecast weather changes.

Early 19th-century stick barometers were predominantly crafted from fine hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, paired with silvered brass or bone scales, glass capillary tubes, and brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-engraved maker signatures on the scale plate, period-correct brass hardware, blown glass tubes, and natural age patination across the timber and metal components.

A stick barometer serves as a refined vertical architectural accent when mounted on narrow wall sections, between artwork in a gallery wall, or within a traditional library setting.

Keep the instrument level and hung securely away from direct heat sources or strong draughts, dusting the timber with a soft dry cloth while avoiding liquid cleaners near the scale plates.
