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

During the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the postal system expanded rapidly, leading to standardized door slots for mail delivery. Manufacturers designed combination hardware that incorporated door pull handles directly into the letter plate frame to maintain a neat appearance on main entry doors.

Victorian architectural hardware was typically cast from solid brass or bronze using sand casting or lost-wax techniques. These heavy metals were chosen for structural strength, corrosion resistance, and their ability to take crisp hand-chased decorative details.

Authentic period fittings exhibit hand-finished filing marks on the reverse, hand-cut screw threads, and substantial weight from solid cast metal rather than modern hollow stampings. Natural age wear typically appears around fixing points and surface contact areas.

Period letter plates can be installed on contemporary solid timber front doors to create a focal point at the entrance. Pair the fitting with complementary brass or bronze hinges and locks to maintain consistency across architectural details.

Maintain polished bronze by wiping it regularly with a dry microfibre cloth to remove moisture and finger oils. Apply a microcrystalline wax polish occasionally to protect the metal from atmospheric oxidisation without damaging the underlying surface.
