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

Aboriginal throwing clubs, often referred to as waddies or throwing sticks, are carved wooden implements crafted by Indigenous Australians historically used for hunting and defence.

These clubs were typically hand-shaped from dense Australian hardwoods, decorated with incised geometric patterns or stippling, and finished with natural oils or resins.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of traditional hand-carving techniques, smooth surface patination from handling, tool marks, and specific regional incised designs.

Carved wooden artefacts are frequently mounted on custom steel display stands, arranged inside glass cabinets, or displayed horizontally on deep shelves and mantels.

Keep wooden objects in humidity-controlled environments away from direct heat sources, dust them regularly with a soft dry brush, and avoid applying water or chemical polishes.
