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

Ships in bottles emerged as a prominent form of maritime folk art in the nineteenth century, often crafted by sailors during long sea voyages to demonstrate technical skill and pass time.

Craftsmen built the miniature vessel outside the glass vessel with hinged masts and folded rigging, inserted the assembly through the bottleneck, and raised the structure internally using concealed threads.

Authentic period examples feature hand-blown glass containing air bubbles or subtle distortions, aged organic materials such as cotton thread and wood, and natural patina on wooden support structures.

Place the object as a focal point on a dark timber bookshelf, a mantelpiece, or alongside leather-bound books and brass instruments to create a curated, traditional study aesthetic.

Keep the object away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent thread degradation, and clean the exterior glass gently using a dry microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners entering the neck.
