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

Haystack measures are distinctively shaped liquid vessels featuring a bulbous body and flared rim, traditionally produced in Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for measuring spirits and ale in public houses.

These measures were cast from lead-pewter alloys in multiple sections, then assembled with hand-soldered seams, cast handles, and turned horizontal rim mouldings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit heavy cast weight, natural surface oxidation, proper proportioning of the haystack profile, and often bear capacity verification stamps or maker touchmarks near the collar.

Arranging a graduated set along a kitchen dresser, sideboard, or mantelpiece creates a focused grouping that adds historic depth and dark metallic texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently using a soft, dry cloth; avoid chemical polishes, abrasive pads, or immersion in water to preserve the aged surface oxidisation and historical patina.
