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

Trade signs were used by merchants and craftsmen, such as cobblers and bootmakers, to advertise their services visually to the public throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Trade signs were typically constructed from hand-cut sheet iron, wrought iron mounting hardware, or carved wood, finished with heavy layers of oil paint to withstand exterior weather conditions.

Authentic trade signs show signs of exterior exposure, such as natural paint flaking, layered undercoats, genuine iron oxidisation, and hand-riveted mounting brackets.

A boot-shaped trade sign can be mounted directly onto a wall in an entryway, study, or hallway to add visual character and structural shape to modern plaster walls.

Keep the metal sign indoors in a climate-controlled setting, dust lightly using a dry soft-bristled brush, and avoid water or chemical agents that could loosen unstable paint layers.
