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

Designed in the mid-19th century by Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy, these instruments combine a mercury barometer, thermometer, and storm glass within a glazed wooden case to aid in weather forecasting.

Construction usually features a solid oak or mahogany cabinet housing a blown glass cistern tube, printed paper scale plates, brass fittings, and a secondary thermometer.

Authentic examples display detailed lithographed paper backings featuring FitzRoys specific weather observation rules, pressure scales, twin adjustable bone pointer knobs, and period mounting brackets.

Mounting the vertical wooden case within a hallway, study, or gallery wall adds an element of historical scientific character and linear texture to contemporary or classic spaces.

Keep the instrument strictly upright to prevent air entering the glass tube or mercury escaping, position it away from direct heat sources, and wipe the glazed case gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
