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

A hip bath, or sitz bath, was a portable metal vessel designed during the nineteenth century for bathing while seated, requiring significantly less water than full-length bathtubs.

Most late Victorian hip baths were fashioned from folded sheet tin, zinc, or iron, often featuring painted exteriors and enamelled or white-painted interiors to mitigate oxidisation.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-rolled rims, folded metal seams, an elevated backrest design, an oval pedestal base, and natural surface patination or historical paint wear.

These historical vessels are frequently repurposed as decorative garden planters, towel display tubs in bathrooms, or distinctive focal points in garden conservatories.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth, avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that remove historical paint, and apply a light coating of microcrystalline wax to protect against corrosion.
