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

Carved chalices from Pitcairn Island were created by islanders during the nineteenth century as folk art items for trade with visiting ships. These items frequently incorporated symbolic motifs such as hands embracing goblets or vases.

These pieces were typically hand-turned on simple foot-lathes and sculpted using hand chisels from locally sourced dense hardwoods, such as Miro wood. They were finished with natural oils or beeswaxes to protect the timber.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved inscriptions around the circular base, visible hand tool marks, and appropriate age-related patina in the crevices of the carving. The wood displays substantial density and rich colouration consistent with island hardwoods.

Display the chalice as a sculptural object on a dark wood bookshelf, side table, or mantelpiece. Pairing it alongside antique books or nautical artifacts highlights its historical origins.

Maintain the wood by lightly dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a microcrystalline wax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and high humidity to prevent cracking.
