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 18th century and earlier, hand-forged wrought iron and cast iron keys were crafted to operate complex rim locks, mortise locks, and padlocks on entry doors, coffers, and security chests.

Keys were fabricated using cast or forged iron, featuring hand-filed bits, cylindrical shanks, and distinctive looped or oval bows created by blacksmiths.

Authentic period keys display visible hand-tooling marks, minor structural asymmetries, surface oxidisation, and noticeable weight compared to modern mass-produced reproductions.

Designers frequently style antique key sets inside glass shadow boxes, placed on accent trays, or hung on decorative brass hooks as wall art.

To prevent active corrosion and maintain the dark patina, iron objects should be stored in a dry environment and occasionally coated with a thin layer of microcrystalline wax.
