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

Table telescopes produced during the 18th century are optical refractor instruments constructed with brass draw tubes and wooden barrels, specifically designed to rest on a tripod for desk or library observation.

Instruments from this era were primarily fabricated using drawn brass fittings, turned mahogany barrels, and hand-ground glass optics assembled with precise screw threading.

Authentic pieces by George Adams typically feature hand-engraved maker inscriptions on the brass draw tube, correct period patination, and period-appropriate folding tripod mechanisms.

Position the telescope on a dark timber desk, sideboard, or within a library display cabinet paired with historic maps and leather-bound volumes to create a focal point.

Maintain the materials by wiping metal components with a dry microfibre cloth to preserve existing oxidisation, applying beeswax to the wood barrel, and cleaning glass lenses only when necessary using specialist optical wipes.
