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

Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, soda-acid fire extinguishers utilised a chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and sulphuric acid to pressurise water inside a heavy copper cylinder for emergency fire suppression.

These vessels were primarily constructed from heavy-gauge sheet copper to withstand pressure, complemented by cast brass handles, brass neck rings, and embossed brass instruction plates, alongside a flexible rubber hose.

Authentic period examples display riveted or heavy-soldered seams, heavy cast brass fittings, and riveted brass maker plaques detailing patent dates, operating instructions, and chemical charge ratios.

Positioned on a hearth, beside an entryway, or within an empty alcove, these polished metallic cylinders serve as textural sculptural accents in industrial, rustic, or eclectic interior schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry soft cloth, apply a specialised metal polish periodically to maintain the warm metallic luster, and keep the object in a dry indoor environment to control oxidisation.
