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

Popularised during the 19th century, standing towel rails were mobile wooden frames designed for bedrooms and washrooms to dry damp linens and towels before piped plumbing became widespread. They featured multiple horizontal rungs supported by turned side uprights.

Victorian towel horses were predominantly made from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut. The joins typically utilised mortise and tenon construction, with turned rails and carved foot bases to maintain balance.

Authentic period pieces display hand-turned uprights, natural wood grain variations, and traditional joinery marks at the rail intersections. Original pieces often retain surface patination, minor wear on the lower feet, and evidence of hand-carved details such as finials.

A standing wooden towel rail can be placed in a modern bathroom to hold bath sheets, or utilised in a guest bedroom as a valet stand for throw blankets, quilts, or garments.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year along the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent joint loosening or wood warping.
