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

Scrimshaw walking sticks were crafted by sailors during extended whaling voyages, featuring intricate decorative carvings etched into whalebone, baleen, or marine horn.

These canes were predominantly constructed using whalebone, whale jawbone, baleen, horn, ebony, and marine teeth, often joined using wooden or metal dowels.

Authentic nineteenth-century scrimshaw displays natural grain structure, minor hand-engraving variations, authentic patination from age, and wear patterns consistent with hand tools.

Displaying a scrimshaw cane upright in a simple umbrella stand or mounted inside a glass display case integrates historic maritime folk art into modern living spaces.

Keep the item in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid applying water, detergents, or chemical polishes.
