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

A tantalus is a specialized drinks stand or frame designed to hold glass decanters securely beneath a locked bar mechanism, preventing access to spirits without a key while keeping the bottles visible.

Historical tantales were constructed using a combination of cut lead crystal decanters and frames made from polished woods like mahogany or oak, alongside electroplated silver or brass metal fittings.

Authentic pieces generally display manufacturer stampings or EPNS hallmarks on the metal frame, accompanied by hand-cut diamond or facetted patterns in the glass decanters and period-correct locking mechanisms.

An antique tantalus functions as an accent piece when displayed on top of a dining room sideboard, positioned inside a glazed cabinet, or placed on a bar cart alongside contemporary glassware.

Glass decanters should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water, while the silver-plated frame should be dusted regularly and polished gently using a non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent tarnish.
