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.

Patented by Sir Edward Thomason in 1802, the Thomason corkscrew features a double-action mechanism utilising a coaxial rack and pinion system that allows continuous turning in one direction to insert and extract the cork.

These mechanical corkscrews were predominantly constructed from cast bronze or brass barrels, fitted with internal steel shafts and hand-forged steel worms or helices.

Authentic examples typically feature a central bronze barrel embossed with a Royal Coat of Arms crest badge, patent inscriptions, and a distinctive double-action mechanical winding shaft.

Small antique barware items like mechanical corkscrews can be displayed on a bar cart, placed under a protective glass cloche, or styled atop a stack of books on a sideboard.

Dust the bronze barrel regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding liquid metal polishes that strip historical patina, and apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to prevent steel oxidisation.
